River Min-Raise Takes The Pot
Whilst counting Leo Margets' stack (she has 28,425 by the way) a hand unfolded on her table that saw one PokerStars qualifier add 5,000 chips to his stack.
The first two players limped, the man next to act bumped up the action to 400, a bet that the cut off, big blind and both limpers called!
Flop:
The first three players checked, the initial raiser made a rather small continuation bet of 700 chips and only the player in the cut off elected to stay in the hand.
Turn:
Both players checked the turn, leaving the dealer to burn a card and deal the river.
River:
Although the three of spades looked like a brick, the player in early position thought otherwise and tested the water with 1,700 bet. After a brief pause lasting around twenty seconds, the cut off clicked it back and made it 3,600 to play.
Despite getting 3.5-to-1 on his bet, the early position player folded, leaving the cut off to stack up what amounts to 35,050 in total
