MartianNews

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Dan Gannon opened to 4,400 and three opponents called to see the flop. Gannon saw action check to him and elected to push in a continuation bet of 13,000.

Only one called and the two saw a land as the turn card. Gannon quickly bet 65,000 and his opponent was now in the midst of a tough decision as they only had 46,500 remaining in their stack.

Ultimately his opponent hit the fold button and Gannon took down another pot, adding to his already large stack.
