Small Pots are Passed
Players have been passing a number of small pots around with little action seeing a flop.
David Rees raised to 500,000 from the small blind and Honghao Zhang defended the big blind. Rees continued for 600,000 on an ace high flop after Zhang checked and he was able to scoop the pot with no further action.
Rees then opened to 500,000 on the button and scooped the blinds, adding more to his stack.
Zhang positioned himself well after Harlan Karnofsky opened to 500,000 on the button, and he jammed, getting a quick fold from Karnofsky. In the hand the pair battled again, this time with Zhang limping from the small blind and Karnofsky defending the big blind. The A♦2♦K♥ flop saw both check to the J♥ turn and Zhang bet 275,000, getting a fold from Karnofsky.
