Level 1
: Blinds 300/500, 0 ante
Louis Hillman opened the action from early position and the cutoff put in a three-bet. The rest of the table folded and Hillman called.
The flop fanned out Q♦J♠7♥ and Hillman check-called a bet from the cutoff. On the A♣ turn Hillman check-called again.
The 10♦ completed the board and Hillman elected to lead out. The cutoff took a moment, but in the end, made the fold and Hillman scored the pot.
"Got my first one through," joked Hillman as he collected the pot.
