Two Monster Hands, One Small Pot
Level 26
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Brett Apter raised to 100,000 from the cutoff, and Laura Hoppe called on the button. Kyle Cartwright came along as well from the big blind.
The 
flop was checked to Hoppe, who bet 175,000. Cartwright called and Apter folded.
Cartwright checked the 
turn to Hoppe, who checked behind.
The 
fell on the river, and action was checked down again. Cartwright showed 
for a flopped open-ended straight flush draw that ended up a pair of jacks, and Hoppe showed 
for the winner.
