Early Pots for Frankland and Cristobal

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

With a raise to 300 ahead of him from the player on the button, Rodrigo Cristobal made the call from the small blind.

Action checked through on the J55 flop, prompting Cristobal to seize the initiative on the 6 turn with a bet of 400. This was enough to shake his opponent out of the pot, giving Cristobal an early win.

On a neighbouring table, a similar situation occurred involving Mathew Frankland.

The high-stakes regular raised to 300 on the button, which both the small and big blind called.

A continuation bet of 500 on the 53Q was enough to see Frankland take it down.
