[user75032]

Poker is pretty easy-going in these early rounds today for Nik Lackovic. In a limped pot among Lackovic, Tony G, and a third player, the flop came down {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{A-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

. Lackovic and Tony G checked to the third player, who bet 300. Only Lackovic called. He check-called a second bet of 600 on the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

turn. When the river fell {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

, Lackovic fired out a healthy bet of his own for a total of 1,800. His opponent called but couldn't beat Lackovic's {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

.

Lackovic is now up to 9,200.
