Mestre Fires Three Streets
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
First to act, Raul Mestre opened to 125,000 holding 7♥7♣, and only Xavier Cortazar called in the big blind with A♠J♠.
The dealer spread a 2♣7♠6♣ flop, and when Cortazar checked, Mestre continued for 125,000, which Cortazar called.
The 3♠ turn joined the board, and Cortazar checked a second time. Mestre didn't slow down, betting 450,000. Once again, Cortazar called.
Cortazar checked for a third time on the 4♥ river, left with just ace-high, and Mestre moved all in, having a covering stack. Cortazar didn't entertain the bet, though, and returned his cards to the dealer.
