Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

A player under the gun limped in and when it folded to a player in early position, he raised to 1,300. He was called by Cesar Aguilera in middle position, the small blind, the big blind, and the under the gun player.

After the flop came K♣10♦5♥ It was checked to the early position player who bet out 2,300. Aguilera made the call and both the blinds and under the gun player folded.

Both players checked the 9♦ on the turn, which brought the A♠ on the river. The early position player then bet out 6,100, and Aguilera raised to 13,500. After giving it some thought the early position player made the call, and tabled A♣K♦. But Aguilera had the winner when he showed Q♦J♦ for a Broadway straight to take the pot.

A player under the gun raised to 1,200, which was called by another player in middle position. It then folded to the player on the button who three-bet to 3,300. Once it folded to the big blind Tom Brown, he four-bet all in for his stack of 19,200.
