Claunch Steps on the Gas
Level 1
: 100/100, 0 ante
Gerald Claunch raised to 900 from the hijack, and only Joseph Brose called in the small blind.
Brose checked the 
flop over to Claunch, who bet 1,600. Brose called.
Brose checked again on the 
turn, and Claunch bet 3,100. Brose folded.
While Claunch raked in the pot, the reigning HPT Player of the Year Nick Pupillo took the seat next to Brose, adding a dangerous opponent for the table to contend with.
