A Hand from John Land
After surviving Day 1a, Matthew Chang and "Cowboy" John Land wanted to try their hand at being a PokerNews field reporter for a bit. We provided them with a pen and pad, and they've been strolling the floor looking for interesting hands. Land recently brought us the following hand, and we must admit, he did a fine job of capturing the action:
Action folded around to the button and he raised to 300. The small blind made the call, as did La Sengphet in the big blind. When the flop fell 
, the small blind bet 450, Sengphet flatted, and the original raiser folded. The dealer then burned and turned the 
, and the small blind fired out 600. Sengphet responded with a raise to 1,250, the small blind three-bet to 4,000, and Sengphet tanked for a couple minutes before folding 
face up.
