Altman Takes An Early One

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Brian Altman raised to 500 on the button and was called by a player in the small blind and Alex Foxen in the big blind.

The flop came out {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{a-Clubs} and action checked to Altman who bet 600, getting calls from both players.

The turn came out a {q-Spades}, seeing action check to Altman once again who sized up to 4,500 which saw the small blind call and Foxen fold.

The river rolled off a {10-Clubs} and the small blind checked to Altman who bet 9,500. The small blind raised to 20,000 and Altman shot a confused glance at his opponent. He called and the small blind turned over {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for a straight, which was no good against the {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a flush and Altman took down one early.
