Ausmus Has Foot On The Gas Pedal Early

Niveau 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

There was an open to 300 from middle position before Jeremy Ausmus three-bet to 1,100 from the cutoff. The original raiser called.

After a flop of Q♦A♥2♦ the middle position player check-called for 500.

The 10♦ turn completed the front door flush and again the middle position player check-called the 2,000 bet from Ausmus.

The 6♦ river put four to a flush on board and middle position checked to Ausmus one more time. After some thought, Ausmus put in a nearly pot sized bet of 8,000.

After some thought the middle position player laid down his hand and Ausmus pulled in a nice pot early on.

OllieGarland

Niveau 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Shane Melert raised in the hijack to 600. The small blind called while the big blind decided to raise to 3,000. Both players called.

The flop came 2♣9♠2♥. Checked to the aggressor, the big blind continued for 3,000 getting two callers.

The turn brought the J♦ slowing down the original raiser as both blinds now check to Melert who took the lead with a bet of 7500. The small blind got out the way while the big blind elected to see a river.

Once checked to for a final time, the 7♦ allows Melert to shove all in for 11,800. After minutes in the tank the big blind eventually hero called with the A♣9♥. Second pair was no good against Melerts K♣K♠ as he raked in nearly a full double up.
