Olshan on the Rise

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
David Olshan
David Olshan

Action went three-ways to the flop of J910 in a hand between the under-the-gun player, David Olshan in middle position, and the player in the hijack.

It checked over to the hijack who bet 5,000 and both of his opponents called to see the 7 turn.

It checked over to the hijack again and he moved all in for about 21,000 to put himself at risk. Under the gun folded and Olshan quickly called.

Hijack: AJ All in
David Olshan: 1010

The 2 landed on the river and Olshan's set of tens held to earn him the pot. After exiting on the stone bubble last night on Day 1a, Olshan looks to find a bag for Sunday here on Day 1b.
