Small Pots Without Major Chip Changes
James Chen limped in from the small blind and Johannes Becker checked out of the big blind. On the Q?8?7? flop, Chen checked and folded to a bet by Becker.
Luis Velador raised and Erik Seidel defended the big blind. They checked the entire Q?9?2?K?9? board and Seidel won the pot with Q?7?3?2?.
Seidel limped the small blind next and he called a raise by Brad Ruben in the big blind. Seidel check-called the A?K?6? flop and the Q? turn was checked to the 4? river. The bet by Seidel won the pot, as Ruben folded.
Becker got a raise through from the cutoff before Chen did so, followed by Seidel.
Velador then raised in the cutoff and Chen defended his big blind. The A?7?6? flop brought a check-call by Chen and he check-folded the 9? turn.
Last but not least, Robert Yass collected the blinds with a raise before Seidel took on Ruben again in a duel of the blinds. Seidel raised for Ruben to call and Seidel bet the 10?4?3? flop, earning a call. On the 7? turn, Seidel checked and Ruben took it down with a bet.
