Continuation-Bets Doing their Job
Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Teun Mulder made it 5,500 from the cutoff and Aleksejs Ponakovs three-bet the big blind to 22,000. Mulder called.
On the 3♠J♥Q♦ flop, Ponakovs bet 17,000 and Mulder quickly folded.
A similar situation happened on the other table when Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 7,000 from under the gun and Phil Ivey called in the next seat. Jason Koon also called in the hijack.
The flop came 2♦7♦8♦ and Thorel's continuation-bet did the trick as both Ivey & Koon folded.
