Limped Pots After the Break

Since we've come back from the break and the limits have gone up to 50,000 and 100,000, most pots have been limped. That was the case in a recent hand between Bobby Firestone in the small blind and Brett Kimes in the big blind. Both players checked the {5-Diamonds}

flop. When the {A-Clubs}

hit the turn, Firestone fired 150,000 and was called by Kimes. On the river {Q-Clubs}

, Firestone checked to Kimes, who bet 275,000.

Firestone went into the tank, then laid down his hand after about a minute. He flashed a queen, prompting Kimes to remark, "Lays down a queen there. How does he lay down a queen? I had a big blind special."
