Blind Battles
In three out of four hands, action folded all the way around to the blinds. First, Kevin Calenzo's 
beat the 
of Brandon Riha. A couple of hands later, Dutch Boyd folded his small blind to Joe Kuether, who faced the same decision when action folded to him just seconds later.
Kuether decided to raise to 70,000 and was called by Jeff Fielder in the big blind. The flop was 
and Kuether continued for 105,000. Fielder called. The 
turn was checked twice and the dealer placed the 
down on the river. Kuether checked again and Fielder fired out 185,000. Kuether thought for a bit before announcing a call. Fielder tabled 
, which was good enough to ship the pot his way.
