Mestre Gets Involved Early
Level 30
: Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Raul Mestre found A♣J♠ under the gun on the first hand of the day and raised to 250,000. The other players were not interested in the pot, and they all mucked in quick succession.
On the next deal, Samuel Ju made it 250,000 to go in the hijack with K♦J♥, while Mestre defended 6♦5♣ in the big blind. The Q♥9♠4♥ board saw Ju place a continuation-bet of 200,000, to which Mestre swiftly check-folded.
