Lanoue Gets Aggressive
Matt Lanoue opened to 1,200 from late position and was called by Humberto Brenes in the small blind. A player in the big blind then three-bet to 5,200. Lanoue made the call while Brenes folded to send action heads up to the flop.
The big blind player continued for 3,000 on a flop of 
. Lanoue responded with a raise to 8,000, which was called.
The 
turn saw the big blind slow down, checking to Lanoue who fired off another bet, this time a much meatier 10,000. The big blind player went into the tank but ultimately emerged having decided to let go of his hand to send a sizable pot Lanoue's way.
Elsewhere at the table, a player who "loves PokerNews" was under the false impression that popular poker pro Doug Polk purchased PokerNews earlier this year. That was in fact an April fool's prank.
