Level 4
: 200/400, 400 ante
Kevin Fowler raised from middle position and was called by Blake Anderson from the cutoff, along with David Gonia from the button.
The 
flop was checked to Anderson who fired out 1,500 and only Gonia called to see the 
fall on the turn.
Anderson check-called the 2,300 that Gonia tossed out and the 
completed the board on the river. Anderson led out for 5,000 and the price was too steep for Gonia as he quickly mucked his hand.
