Etim Fills Up To Score Early Knockout
Florian Duta opened to 1,300 from under the gun before Terence Etim three-bet to 4,200 one seat over. The player to his left called before a player in middle position cold four-bet to 15,000. Action folded back around to Duta who quickly released his holding while Etim, after some deliberation, called. The player to his left folded to send action heads-up to the flop with a big pot brewing.
Both players checked through the 
flop to the 
turn at which point Etim checked for a second time. The middle position player tossed out a bet of 16,000 and Etim called.
The 
river completed the board and saw Etim check for a third time. His opponent, after a considerable amount of time, moved all in and with no hesitation Etim called, turning over 
for the full house. The middle position player, who had the effective stack, meekly turned over 
before announcing "rebuy" while Etim raked in a huge pot early in the day.
