Did Austin Make a Monumental Raise in the Monumental Stack?
A player in the hijack raised to 1,000 before Richard Austin three-bet on the button. The dealer announced his raise as 35,000, but Austin insisted he had made it only 3,500.
"I heard 3,500. That would be a little aggressive, 35,000," another tablemate chimed in, and Austin's raise stood as 3,500. The hijack called, and they went heads-up to the A♦Q♦2♥ flop.
Austin then bet 4,500, and his opponent called. Austin bet another 7,000 on the 3♠ turn, and the hijack folded this time.
The field on Day 1b has grown to 65 entries about midway through Level 2.
