Anderson Loses a Small Pot

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

A player opened to 600 and Calvin Anderson made the call. The player on the button raised it to 1,350 and only Anderson called.

On the flop {j-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades}, Anderson checked and called his opponent's all-in for 725. With {a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs} for Anderson and {j-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} for his opponent, the latter was in good shape to double.

The {2-Clubs} turn and {a-Hearts} river didn't change anything and Anderson lost the pot.

Anderson registered in the tournament and has had a good start, with this pot bringing him up to more than twice starting stack.
