Pots Getting Bigger

We're only in Level 2 -- players are still very deep-stacked. But we're starting to see more action at thet ables and bigger pots. On Table 3, James Akenhead bet 10,000 into a 13,000-chip pot on the turn, {7-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}. While Daniel Alaei considered his action, a big pot developed one table away between Alec Torelli and Sassine Ghazaleh. On a flop of {10-Clubs} {6-Spades} {3-Spades}, Ghazaleh check-raised Torelli from 1,250 to 5,250.

Alaei acted first at Table 3; he folded, conceding the pot to Akenhead. Torelli, back at Table 4, opted to call to the {K-Spades} turn. He then snap-folded to a bet of 15,000 from Ghazaleh.
