Fitzgerald Finds Out

Alex Fitzgerald
Alex Fitzgerald
Alex Fitzgerald didn't waste any time getting comfortable at the table, jumping right in to the first few hands he played. In his most recent tangle, a player in early position opened with a raise to 375, and both Fitzgerald and the big blind came along to the flop.

It showed up {K-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {5-Clubs}, and all three men checked. When the turn card brought the {2-Spades}, the big blind elected to lead out with a bet of 625. The raiser ducked out, but Fitzgerald quickly flicked in the calling chips. The river revealed the {8-Hearts}, and the big blind fired again, 1,500 this time. Without any pause, Fitzgerald called again, and his opponent instantly mucked his hand. Alex turned over {A-Spades} {J-Hearts} to win the pot, chipping his way up to 34,000 here in the early stages of his day.
