Small Pots for Austin

It's been a couple of small pots in a row for Richard Austin. He limped the button and took a three-handed flop of {Q-Diamonds}

with Sorel Mizzi and Cliff Josephy. Mizzi and Josephy both checked to Austin, who bet 50,000. Only Mizzi called.

The {3-Spades}

that hit the turn was checked by both players. When the dealer produced the {10-Diamonds}

on the river, Mizzi checked again. He looked suspiciously at Austin when Austin bet 125,000, but decided the best course was to fold his hand.
