Hand Has Impeccable Sporting Taste
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Fintan Hand is one of five PokerStars Ambassadors still battling in the PokerStars Open Main Event and recently found himself involved in a string of consecutive pots.
In the first, Daniele Degennaro opened to 20,000 from under the gun. Hand three-bet to 55,000 from the next seat, and Degennaro called. The latter then check-folded to a continuation bet of 30,000 on the 9♥7♣3♠ flop.
Hand, sporting a throwback Mark Bosnich Aston Villa jersey, entered the next pot with a raise to 20,000. This time, he was forced to fold when Nariman Yaghmai three-bet to 55,000.
On the very next deal, Alberto Cigliano opened to 20,000 from middle position. Hand defended his big blind, only to fold again after facing a 35,000 bet on the 9♦7♣3♣ flop.
