Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

The player in the cutoff raised 300 preflop and James Dortch in the small blind called.

The flop came JA9, and Dortch bet 700 and the cutoff called.

The Q on the turn created a scary board but did not stop Dortch, who bet 1,600, and the cutoff player called again.

The river brought another scare card 10, and Dortch continued his betting with 2,000 and suddenly was reraised by the cutoff player to 7.000. Dortch went into the think tank for a minute and apologized to the table, and then called.

57 was held by the cutoff, and J9 was held by Dortch. The cutoff's bluff attempt was foiled by Dortch's two pair.
