Caalim Climbs; Malseed Mucks
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Patrico Caalim opened to 700 from middle position and his neighbour Scot Malseed called from the hijack. The button also called, taking the three players to the 3♦9♥6♠ flop.
Action was checked around to the Q♦ turn and Caalim bet 1,200. Malseed snap called, and the button folded.
The A♣ completed the board and Caalim check-raised to 4,000 after Malseed bet 2,000. Malseed mucked his hand and took a further fall in chips.
Caalim sat back with just shy of 100,000 chips, having one of the leading stacks headed towards the first break of the day.
