TKBluffs

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

The under-the-gun player limped in and Kay Coulston raised to 450. Michael Ma called and Matthew Wantman reraised to 2,000 from the button. It folded back to Coulston who called and Ma called as well.

They went three-handed to the flop and it checked to Wantman who tossed out a bet of 3,000. Coulston quickly folded and Ma thought it over for a bit before also folding. Wantman scooped the pot without showdown and continues to climb here in the early levels.
