Another Small Pot for Le

[user75032]

Andrew Scott limped into the pot from the small blind, and Nam Le checked his option. The flop was {10-Hearts}

. Le checked to Scott, who made it 18,000 to go. After some thought, Le called.

Both players checked the {K-Hearts}

turn and the {Q-Clubs}

river. At showdown, Le tabled {J-Diamonds}

for a pair of jacks. It was good.

"Jack-three..." Scott said to nobody, after the hand was completed.

Le's Pressure Bet Gets the Best of Scott

[user75032]

Andrew Scott has shown that he is not afraid to bring the fire to Nam Le, but Le's also shown he's not afraid to fire back. Le raised the pot preflop to 24,000 and Scott called.

The flop brought all sorts of developing possibilities, {J-Spades}

. Andrew checked to Le, who made it 35,000 to play. With action back on Scott (and without consulting his leg this time), Scott check-raised to 110,000. That raise gave Le some pause, as he studied both the board and his opponent for some sign of what he should do. After a minute of thought, he announced a raise of his own. Eyeing Scott's stack, he made it 360,000 to go, placing the pressure squarely on Scott.

"Do you have a heart draw?" Scott asked. Le remained motionless, offering no response. Scott appeared to come to a decision anyway, folding his hand twenty seconds later.

After the hand was completed, Scott looked down at something on his left leg for at least the fourth time since heads up play started, nodded his head, and then prepared for the next hand. From media row, we can't see what Scott is looking at. Our best guess is that he has some sort of crib sheet on Le's playing style.

Scott Pushes Le Out

[user75032]

The first raised pot of heads up play goes to Andrew Scott. Nam Le raised to 20,000 as first to act. Scott, after looking at something tucked into his left pants leg (notes of some kind?) reraised to 50,000. That raise pushed Le out of the pot.

The very next pot was limped preflop and checked on the flop. On the turn, with the board showing {A-Clubs}

, Scott's bet of 22,000 produced a fold from Le.

Small Pots In The Early Goings

[user67765]

The first few pots of heads up play have resulted in three limped pots being taken down by the first player to follow up with a postflop bet.

Perhaps these players are happy to play some small-ball poker or they might just be feeling each other out in the early goings. With the blinds still relatively small, there is no real pressure on either player to push the action, which means we could still be here a while!
