Fast Start for Cadavid

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Carlos Cadavid opened to 5,500 in the cutoff, which Aleksandr Chernikov called from the button before the big blind came along too.

All three players checked the K♠K♥6♦ flop, but when the big blind checked for a second time on the 3♠ turn, Cadavid bet 5,500. Chernikov called, and the big blind folded.

Cadavid fired another 11,000 into the pot on the A♣ river, and Chernikov called again before mucking when Cadavid tabled K♣9♦ for flopped trips.
