Cagey Play

With so much to play for, the style of play so far has, predictably, been one of measured aggression--lots of raising when there is an opportunity, calling in position, folding to a continuation bet on an unfriendly flop, and so on.

It folds around to Thomas West in the small blind, and he raises. Rory Monahan in the big blind calls. The flop comes down a jacktastic {J-Diamonds}

and West bets out. Monahan, refusing to drop any more chips than is strictly necessary, folds.

Then Sergey Rybachenko raises in late position, and Jason Young calls to his immediate left, but folds when Rybachenko bets out on the {A-Diamonds}

flop.
