Eriksson Hooks Early Pot

Felipe Barrios raised to 300 as first to act four-handed. Thoroddur Eiriksson bumped it up to 800, which Barrios quickly called. Eiriksson put in the same amount on the 2♠6♥9♠ flop, and Barrios check-called, again swiftly.

Eiriksson sized up to 1,500 on the 8♣ turn, seeing his opponent check-call again. When Eriksson tossed in 2,000 on the 8♠ river, Barrios took some time to think things through.

Eventually, he flicked in a call. Eiriksson tabled J♠J♥ for an overpair, and Barrios nodded before he tossed his cards into the muck.
