It's a Game of Chicken
Level 15
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
PokerStars Team Online's Isaac Haxton is commentating on the live stream right now and he was discussing the table dynamics.
Four of the bigger stacks in Sorel Mizzi, Vladimir Troyanovskiy, Jason Mercier and Max Altergott are all sat in a row. He hinted that they may be more likely to clash because of that fact.
Mizzi is the furthered to the right of this bunch so he may need to tighten his range for the moment. Haxton then said that it could come down to a game of chicken for him in that he can open and dare one of the others to plat back at him.
Just as his mentioned this, Mizzi opened to 52,000 from the hijack and Mervier came in with a three-bet to 138,000. Mizzi folded and the first game of chicken went to the Team PokerStars Pro.
