Netaliev Off to a Good Start
Level 1
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Oleg Netaliev opened to 1,000 from under the gun and received calls from Mohamad El Siblani in early position and Antoine Labaky in the hijack.
The flop came J♥7♣2♥ and Netaliev fired a 2,500 continuation bet. El Siblani called while Labaky got out of the way.
El Siblani called another bet from Netaliev on the 3♦ turn, this time for 7,500.
The river was the 9♦. Netaliev bet a third time for 15,000 and El Siblani made the call.
Netaliev tabled A♦J♦ for top pair, top kicker.
"Very nice hand" El Siblani told his opponent as he sent his hand into the muck allowing Netaliev to take down a sizable early pot.
