Hasas Gets Respect; Nackashi Up Early
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 0 ante
Elanit Hasas raised to 500 from under the gun and Roy Crews called from the button before Jerry Nackashi joined the party from the big blind.
The flop was 8♠5♦3♦ and Nackashi checked before Hasas tossed out 1,000. Crews called and Nackashi folded before the K♥ fell on the turn. Hasas bet 3,000 and that was too much for Crews to continue so he gave up the pot.
Meanwhile, Nackashi is among the early leaders with double the starting stack before the end of the first level.
