Solid As Serock

Joe Serock raised to 925 from middle position and got one caller from the small blind. Both quickly checked the {4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} flop. The turn brought the {2-Diamonds} and another quick check from Serock's opponent, and Serock paused just a beat before checking behind once more.

The river was the {8-Spades}, pairing the board. Serock's opponent again acted quickly, pulling three light blue (500) chips off his stack and tossing them forward for a bet of 1,500. Serock didn't hesitate at all before making the call.

"Good call," his opponent said, tabling {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Serock showed {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}, and took the pot, thereby adding to what is one of the bigger stacks in the room at present.
