Lucille Cailly played a hand aggressively and managed to fold out one pre flop and one on the turn. Toby Lewis opened to 700 from early position before Cailly three-bet to 2,000 from the next seat. Terje Augdal called from the button but Lewis made a considered looking fold. Cailly continued for 2,000 on the flop and 3,900 on the turn. Augdal folded to the second bet.
On the secondary feature table Lars Garp managed to manoeuvre Salvatore Bonavena off a hand on the river. The Team PokerStars Pro raised to 700 from the cut-off and bet 1,200 on the flop. Garp called from the small blind and check-called the c-bet. Both checked the turn and Garp led for 2,300 on the river. Fold.
