Hand #150
Benjamin Reason opened to 80,000, and we saw our first flop of 
after Michael Gathy made the call. Both players were happy to check, before the

completed the board. Check-check would follow, before Reason showed his 
for a pair. Gathy then showed his 
for a higher pair, as he took down the first significant pot between the two.
