Anderson Wins with River Bet

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 {2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} flop was checked to Anderson who fired out 1,500 and only Gonia called to see the {a-Diamonds} fall on the turn.

Anderson check-called the 2,300 that Gonia tossed out and the {j-Spades} 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.

Gerald Cunniff raised from the hijack and found three callers that watched a {10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop hit the felt.

Action was checked to Cunniff who continued for 1,600 and was called by the cutoff, along with the small blind.

The dealer turned the {a-Spades} and only the small blind check-called Cunniff's 3,000 bet.

After the {5-Diamonds} completed the board on the river, action was checked once again to Cunniff who fired out an uncontested 10,000 bet to win the pot.

Blake Anderson opened under the gun and David Gonia three-bet from the next seat over before Kevin Fowler four-bet to 5,000 from the button.

After the blinds folded, Anderson followed suit while Gonia five-bet to 10,000 putting Fowler all in. Fowler snapped-off his stack and the two players tabled their hands.

Kevin Fowler: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
David Gonia: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Gonia picked-up cowboys at the wrong time and the {5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{8-Spades} runout secured Fowler his double-up.
