Russo on the Rise

A player in middle position opened for 1,200 and the player in the cutoff called before Darren Russo three-bet to 3,500 from the button.

Both blinds got out of the way, the original raiser called, and the cutoff came along to make it three-way action to the flop.

Two checks put action on Russo and he continued for 6,000. That did the trick as both his opponents folded.

It wasn't the most exciting hand but it did give us a good excuse to update you on Russo's climbing stack.
