Play Slows

The players have tightened up a little more recently with many pots being won with a preflop raise.

However a recent pot made it to the river with the board showing {6-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Sam Khouiss had limped preflop from the small blind, and after firing on the turn he checked over to Vito Montalto in the big blind who bet out 16,000 on the river. Khouiss threw his arms in the air and released his hand as Montalto flashed the {A-Clubs} and scooped the pot.
