Early Action For Hockey Nut

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

Chris McCauley from Texas is known as “Hockey Nut.” and describes himself as a “Full-time hockey enthusiast and part-time poker pro." Along with 1,045 entrants so far this level, he has dreams of turning his $365 into a great payday and, who knows, a gold WSOP bracelet.

McCauley was one of several players who called the big blind before a player in the big blind raised it up to 350. Three players called the raise and it went four-ways to the flop of {6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

No action there so the dealer put out the turn card {k-Clubs}. That saw a bet of 625 from the player on the big blind. McCauley was the only caller.

Heads up to the river {j-Diamonds} and caution prevailed with both players checking.

{a-Spades}{k-Hearts} for McCauley. {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} for his opponent. Chop it up.
