We are just in the first twenty minutes of play and Michael Falcon has claimed a fairly decent-sized pot to get him excited. Starting with a raise to 200 by a mid-position player, two players made the call, however when action landed on big blind Falcon, he three-bet to 1100. Everyone called. At the flop of 4♣ 8♣ 8♥, Falcon bet 2,000 and got himself one caller as the others folded. At the turn of Q♣ and river of 2♣, both players checked and Falcon won with his 10♣ 10♥.
