A Few Snippets of Action

The sound of riffled chips is soothing background noise here as we get deeper into Level 2 at the L.A. Poker Classic Main Event. The action is still dominated by small pots at this level, with the average stack roughly 200 big blinds deep.

Allen Cunningham is one player on the north side of that line; he chipped up to 24,000, helped in part by taking down a three-way pot on a board of {10-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {4-Hearts} by leading out for 525 as first to act. Neither of his opponents felt like playing for that price.

On a nearby table, Jon Turner took down a pot by betting the turn of a {K-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {3-Spades} board after calling a bet of 525 on the flop. Winning that pot brought "PearlJammer" back to the starting stack.
