The Captain is Off to a Quick Start

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Four players created a pot of around 900 and saw a flop of {6-Clubs}{10-Spades}{A-Spades}. Both blinds checked to "Captain" Tom Franklin in middle position and he bet 300, which prompted the cutoff and small blind to fold. The big blind opted to make the call and then both players checked down the {J-Diamonds} turn and {5-Spades} river.

The big blind rolled over {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for a missed straight, which was no good against Franklin's {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. It wasn't much of a hand, but a good excuse to let you know that Franklin is up to 47,000.
