Vaserman Bets the Pot

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Alexander Kartveli and Teddy Way checked from the blinds on the A59 flop, as did Steven Vaserman in early position. Joseph Carey fired a bet of 1,000 from the cutoff, with only Vaserman making the call.

Another check from Vaserman followed the 4 turn, and Carey checked behind.

Vaserman then led out with a pot-sized bet of 4,2000 on the K river, earning the pot as Carey opted to let his hand go.
