Tilly Builds Early

[user38971]

Jennifer Tilly called to see a flop along with a player under the gun and both the blinds. The flop fell {A-Diamonds}

and the under-the-gun player led out for 250. Tilly called and both the blinds folded. The turn brought the {A-Spades}

and the player under the gun fired 500 into the pot, and Tilly raised to 1,500. Her opponent called and the river brought the {7-Diamonds}

. Her opponent checked and Tilly led out for another 1,500, which her opponent called. He turned over A-Q for three of a kind while Tilly showed {A-Hearts}

for the boat. Earning chips early, Tilly's already up to 15,000.
