MaximeTaldir

Niveau 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

David Álvarez opened to 1,000 from the button and received a call from Albano Fedele in the small blind and Samuel Ju in the big blind.

On the flop 4♠10♦2♣, Álvarez bet 1,000. Only Fedele decided to check-call.

The 5♦ on the turn didn't change anything as both players checked. But on the river 9♠, after Fedele checked again, Álvarez bet 2,000.

Fedele went in the tank but eventually called with a tricky A♠K♦. Álvarez only had A♥8♦.
