Nick Kost opened for a raise in the cutoff and got three-bet by Calen McNeil on the button. Kost check-called the first two streets before it went check-check on the river as the board read .
Kost:
McNeil:
McNeil took high with two pair and low with a live six.
We had a series of big hands go down in back-to-back-to-back hands. In the first hand, Greg Raymer would get crippled down to 120,000 when he would call Calen McNeil's pre-flop four-bet and then fold on the river on a board.
The next hand would see McNeil crippled Steve Chanthabouasy when he would hit a wheel on a board with his to scoop the pot. Chanthabouasy would show .
Chanthabouasy would double up the next hand against Alex Luneau with against Lunea's on a board to give him a Broadway straight.
Greg Raymer three-bet from the big blind over an Alex Luneau open from the cutoff. Luneau called, and the flop came . Luneau raised Raymer's bet and the two got it in for Raymer's stack.
Raymer:
Luneau:
Raymer asked for running hearts, but a turn gave Luneau outs for the nut low. A river was a total brick though, and Raymer's aces up were good for a double.
