A player in late position raised to 725, the small blind reraised to 2,100, and Matt Affleck, sitting in the big blind, leaned forward in his Seattle Sonics jersey to study the situation. After a few seconds he called the reraise, and with a shrug the original raiser called as well.

The flop came a coordinated {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and the small blind checked. Affleck set out a bet of 3,800, and both of his opponents folded without much ceremony.

Affleck has built up a sizable stack this afternoon, one of the bigger ones we're seeing. He's now closing in on 70,000.
