Early Move From Botez Yields Chips
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Alexandra Botez raised to 600 from the button and action folded around to Tibor Nagygyorgy for a call from the big blind.
The flop was 9♠7♦A♠ and Nagygyorgy check-called an 800 bet from Botez. The turn was 3♥.
Nagygyorgy checked again and this time and called when Botez fired 1,500.
The river was 2♠ and it was check once more from Nagygyorgy before Botez made it 3,000. He looked down at his chips and tossed out 3,000 of them to take a look. Botez turned over A♣3♣ for aces and threes to take the pot while Nagygyorgy tossed the losing hand in the muck.
