Brian Meinders opened under the gun, and Dutch Boyd put in three bets right next door. The two men went heads up to a flop of 
, and Meinders tapped the table. When Boyd bet, he check-raised, and Boyd matched the extra bet.
The turn came the 
, and Boyd called a bet before the 
filled out the board. Meinders checked again, and Boyd figured a bet was in order. Meinders called, and Boyd said, "Tens," turning up {Td 
.
"Tens are good," Meinders lamented as he slung his cards into the muck.
Brian Meinder raised it up from the button, and both Dutch Boyd and Albert Minnullin called from the blinds.
The flop was 
and Boyd checked to Minnullin, who bet, Meinder called and Boyd raised getting a call from both players.
The turn was the 
, and Boyd led out this time getting calls from both opponents.
The river was the , and all three players checked.
Boyd revealed 
, and Minnullin took quite some time, obviously about to make the "denial muck." Meinder was waiting for Minnullin to flip his hand over before revealing his own, and by doing this most of the crowd and possibly Boyd thought his hand was good. It wasn't as Meinder finally flipped over pocket jacks when Minnullin's cards hit the muck.
In the most action we've seen in quite some time (and it's not much), Albert Minnullin raised under the gun. From the button, Domenico Denotaristefani made it three bets to go, and Minnullin called to see a flop.
It came out 
, and Minnullin checked. When Denotaristefani bet, he snuck in a raise, and his opponent called the extra small bet.
The turn came the , and one more bet from Minnullin was enough to take down the pot.
That's the most exciting thing that's happened in two orbits. We promise. Things have really slowed down in here during this after-dinner level.
