Rex Clinkscales opened in middle position and got a call on his left before Georgios Zisimopoulos made it 1,700 on the button. Clinkscales called after some thought and the other player called as well. The flop came 
and Zisimopoulos had a bet of 2,025 called by only the player on Clinkscales' left. Both checked when the
