Cowboys for the Cowboy

A player sitting in the cutoff seat opened with a 3x raise to 75, and it folded to ��Amarillo Slim�� Preston who raised to 400 from the big blind. The cutoff called.

The flop came {3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Preston looked out from beneath the brim of his familiar cowboy hat at the board, then checked. His opponent checked as well. The turn brought another baby -- {3-Spades} -- and a bet of 600 from Preston. The player in the cutoff called.

The river was the {6-Diamonds}. Slim once more bet 600, and was called again. Preston turned over {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}, and his opponent mucked. Preston has chipped up to 5,500 here in the early going.
