We have just seen our first flop in quite some time.
It started with Brian Mcallister opening to 36,000 from under the gun. Vesko Zmukic called from the big blind and the dealer flipped over . When Zmukic checked here, Mcallister moved all in and Zmukic folded, leaving himself with around 150,000.

The board ran out , with Rolfe hitting a set of threes and ultimately doubling up.
