Pressure from Preston Wins Pot

"Amarillo Slim" Preston
"Amarillo Slim" Preston
A late position player raised to 500, "Amarillo Slim" Preston called from the cutoff, and the player in the big blind called as well.

The flop came {Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}. The big blind checked, the original raiser continued with a bet of 1,000, then Preston raised to 4,000. At which point one of the ESPN camera crews, roaming the relatively sedate Amazon Room looking for action, quickly showed up.

The big blind folded, and Preston's opponent thought a moment before calling. The {2-Hearts} arrived on the turn, putting a third heart on board, and both players checked.

The river was yet another heart -- the {10-Hearts}. Preston's opponent bet 5,000. Then Preston raised to 11,000, and his opponent let it go.

Preston has 39,000.
