Sayer Gets Paid Off
Evan Sayer raised from the button and was called by Denis Nesterenko in the small blind. Von Altziner then squeezed out of the big blind and received calls from the other two players.
Each player took two cards on the initial draw after which both Nesterenko and Altziner checked. Sayer bet and was met by a raise from Nesterenko. Altziner got out of the way to send the action back to Sayer who responded with a re-raise. Nesterenko did not re-open the action but simply called.
On the second draw both players stood pat. Nesterenko then checked to Sayer, who fired off another bet. Nesterenko made the call.
The final draw saw no new cards taken and once again Nesterenko checked to Sayer. Not prepared to go to a cheap showdown just yet, Sayer bet. Nesterenko did not appear happy but tossed in calling chips anyway. Sayer showed 
for number two and Nesterenko mucked.
