Puntas Takes One Early
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Chadi Akremi opened to 50,000 from middle position and received calls from Antonio Puntas in the small blind and Fernando Celdran in the big blind.
All three players checked the A♣6♣10♦ flop leading to the 5♥ turn. Puntas bet 100,000, Celdran got out of the way and Akremi made the call.
Puntas fired a second barrel for 150,000 on the Q♦ river and was once again called by Akremi. Puntas tabled A♠6♠ for aces up to take a nice early pot.
