Post-Dinner Pressure


Shawn Roberts - @HPTPoker Season XI Player of the Year - was moved in to the 9 seat at Table 32, next to Grant Hinkle (8th this year at HPT Kansas City), and Roberts was busy in three consecutive hands right after coming back from dinner break.

In the first hand - blind vs. blind action - Hinkle limped and Roberts raised to 4,000, getting a fold and the blinds/antes.

The second hand and Nick Syrigos limps from the 7 seat. Hinkle makes it 4,000 and 'Qui' Roberts makes it 12,000, with everyone again folding.

We're now on the third hand, Syrigos opens for 2,500, Roberts calls and everyone else gets out of the way.

Syrigos bets 4,500 on the Kc Kc Kc flop, with Roberts calling.

Strigos check-calls a 4,500 bet from Roberts on the Kc turn, and Roberts appears to go for some value on the Kc river, putting out a 6,200 bet. Syrigos hesitates, gathers chips, hesitates, and calls.

Roberts shows Kc Kc and Syrigos mucks.

Three hands, three pots won, and Roberts almost doubles his stack with one showdown and two uncontested pre-flop.

Shawn Roberts - 58,000

Level - 10
Blinds - 500/1000
Antes - 100
Players Left - 81
