No Tanking for Somerville

One of the things that you don't see on television is how certain big pots can be influenced by a lot of smaller pots throughout the day. Those smaller pots help players build a picture of their opponents' tendencies in order to make tough decisions easier in future hands. Jason Somerville just lots a small pot to the big blind at his table. Somerville opened for 8,000 pre-flop and was called, then fired another 8,000 on a flop of {7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. The big blind then check-raised to 24,000 and induced a quick fold from Somerville.
