Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Jonathan Thomas raised to 800 from under the gun and Dorothy Crossman called before Walker Miskelly came along from late position. Jonathan Pragel came along from the cutoff and Katherine Hubert called from the button before Robert Richardson joined the fun from the big blind. Action was six ways and the dealer was ready to go.

The flop was 6♦7♥3♣ and action folded to Walker Miskelly for a bet of 2,500. Pragel called from the next seat over and the rest of the table cleared out of the way.

The turn was 10♣ and Miskelly checked. Pragel tossed out 11,000 and that was good enough to take the pot.
