Horrocks Takes It On the River

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

In a three-way flop of {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts} there were roughly 2,000 chips in the middle. The small blind led out for 1,500 forcing the big blind to fold while John Horrocks made the call.

The turn was the {7-Spades} which the small blind led again for 2,000 and Horrocks decided that was a good price to see the river. When the {a-Diamonds} fell on the river the small blind check-folded to Horrocks when he took the aggression with a 6,000 bet.

Pocket Kings Early for Barrett

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

After 2,200 in chips went in the middle three ways, the flop fell {j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts}. The small blind checked to Bruce Barrett who fired out a bet of 6,000. The cutoff called before the small blind folded.

Both players checked the {6-Spades} turn, and on the {5-Hearts} river, both players decided to take their hand to showdown by checking once again. Barrett tabled the {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} for a full house and his opponent's cards quickly hit the muck.
