Denis Noykin's Raise Commands Maximum Respect
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
Australian Timothy Mitchell opened the betting with a raise to 525 from early position. The player to his direct left got out of the way but Andreas Blumenthal made the call. The next two players to act folded but Denis Noykin, on the button, made it 1,700 to play.
The raise initially looked larger but that is because he decided to use a handful of green 25 denomination chips to make his raise with. Whether or not that was his intention it worked because the two active players in the hand folded and he won the pot without any contest.
