Breviglieri Jumps Into an Early Lead
Level 1
: 200/400, 50 ante
The action folded around to Natalia Breviglieri in the cutoff, and she made it 1,000 to go. Lars Wik reraised to 3,200 out of the small blind, and Breviglieri four-bet to 9,000 total. Wik made the call.
The partypoker Ambassador continued for 7,000 on the 
flop but checked the 
turn back to Wik. Wik took the initiative on the 
river, but Breviglieri quickly called the 12,600 bet on the river and raked in the pot with 
for a rivered straight while Wik's 
hit the muck.
