Seeing a lot of hands being folded around now, with end result being the player in the big blind winning the one-half of a small bet from the player in the SB.

One hand recently went to the river, so let's have a look at that one, whaddya say?

Rep Porter raised from the button, and Dominik Kulicki called from the small blind. The flop came {5-Clubs}

, Kulicki bet, and Porter called. The turn was the {4-Hearts}

. Kulicki bet, Porter raised, and Kulicki called.

The river was the {6-Diamonds}

, and this time Kulicki check-called Porter's bet. Porter showed {A-Spades}

for two pair, and Kulicki mucked.

Porter now has 175,000, while Kulicki has 100,000.

One for the Money, Two for the Show, Three to Get Ready...

Shamus

And, well, actually... three to go.

Sounds like we will be ending things this evening here with Level 20. A card was just drawn -- a trey -- meaning players will play three more hands before calling it a night.
