In one of the larger pots we've seen thus far, two players checked to Nader Wahdan in middle position after an flop. Wahdan fired 7,000 and both opponents called. The small blind then bet out 5,100 on the turn and all three players stayed in for the river. The small blind fired again, this time 6,000, and the first player folded. Wahdan tossed in a call.
We found Patrick Steele check-calling a bet of 2,000 from Blake Bohn on a flop. Steele then check-called 3,800 on the turn before checking the river. Bohn made an exaggerated check as if he knew he was no good, and he couldn't beat Steele's .
One player limped, Kenneth Kottwitz made it 1,075 in the cutoff, and Lance Harris three-bet to 2,425 on the button. The limper called, as did Kottwitz.
Everyone checked the flop, and a turned. After a check, Kottwitz bet 3,000 and got two calls. The completed the board, and three more checks ensued. The first player showed for a pair of nines, but Kottwitz had a far better holding: for a turned straight.
