Tavares Takes Some from Chip Leader

Stewart Morrison

Level 6 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Gabriel Tavares opened to 4,000 from under the gun, seeing only Pedro Grochocki call on the button.

Both players checked on a 7♣10♥2♥, and the dealer added the 7♠ turn to the board.

Tavares picked his betting lead back up, putting 4,500 into the middle, which Grochocki called.

When the 4♣ hit the river, Tavares bet again, and Grochocki wasted little time in folding.
