Honeybone Hits the Sweet Spot
With 1,650 in the pot and a board reading 
, the player in the small blind checked, as did a middle-position player. Action was then on James Honeybone, who fired out 800 from the button. The small blind woke up with a check-raise to 2,625, the MP got out of the way, and Honeybone made the call.
When the dealer burned and turned the 
, the small blind bet 3,500 and Honeybone made a quick call. The 
river saw both players check and Honeybone rolled over 
. It was good as the small blind mucked. The New Zealander, who has relocated to Brazil, is up to 27,000.
