Cusack Bets Every Street

Tim Baker

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Four players saw the dealer fan out a flop of 7♣3♦5♣. After two checks, Paudie Cusack bet 1,200 from the hijack with Gytis Lazauninkas calling from the button, and Brian Adair calling out of the small blind.

The 10♣ hit the turn and Cusack continued with another bet, this time for 3,300. Lazauninkas called again, but Adair folded.

When the 4♥ hit the river, Cusack bet 8,000, and Lazauninkas decided to fold his cards.

Piotr Sloma limped from the cutoff then called after Brian Adair in the small blind raised to 600.

On the 10♣ river, Adair bet 3,600. Sloma called, but his cards went into the muck after Adair turned over A♠10♦ for two pair.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Bobby James raised to 700 from the hijack before Thomas Murphy three-bet to 3,100 from the small blind. James called.

Murphy continued with a bet of 3,500 on the 9♥J♠6♠ flop. James slid in the call.

Murphy didn't slow down upon seeing the 3♥ come on the turn as he put out a bet of 9,500. James once again made the call.

The 2♣ dropped on the river and Murphy unloaded the clip, shoving for 27,000. James thought it over for quite some time before eventually flicking in the call.

Murphy flipped over 8♥7♥ for eight-high. James had that beat with top pair holding J♥10♥, and Murphy was the first elimination of the day.
