Big Stacks Exchange Small Pots
Pots in the last 20 minutes or so have mostly been small, with Jamie Kerstetter continuing to be the beneficiary of most. With the two shorter stacks mostly staying out of the way, Kerstetter and Shiina Okamoto played a couple of hands.
On the first one, Kerstetter raised from the button with A♥9♥. Okamoto defended the big blind with the 3♠3♣.
The flop came 4♦2♦6♦. Okamoto check-called Kerstetter's bet of 90,000.
The turn 7♥ and river Q♥ got checked around, and Okamoto took down the small pot.
A couple of hands later, the situation was reversed - Okamoto was on the button and raised to 160,000, with Kerstetter defending the big blind with J♥7♦.
The flop was 9♠5♦3♦ and Kerstetter check-called Okamoto's small continuation bet or 90,000.
She caught a pair on J♠ turn but continued to check. Okamoto slowed down.
The river A♠ was a scare card and got checked by both, so the second pot between the big stacks went Kerstetter's way.
