The Hour of the Three-bet
![[user46298]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The blinds getting up over 300/600 means that we've now started to see short stacks moving in, or doing so over the top of a pesky preflop raiser. Also confrontations between averagely stacked opponents can quickly snowball into stack-engulfers and the last 15 minutes have seen practically every table experience fewer flops.
Looking round the room it appears that Tom Marchese is out, as Claudio Checchi is now in his seat. He just re-raised Joaquin Culebras off preflop making it 5500, while simultaneously on the next table along Rob Hollink was button three-betting Andrew Malott off his initial 1,600. Hollink, meanwhile, is in the running for Grinder of the Day as he appeared to start the day with 18k, and keep on trucking with 40-80% of the EPT starting stack all day long.
