Nazari Wins an Early Big Pot

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Najibullah Nazari
Najibullah Nazari

Najibullah Nazari three-bet to 3,100 in the small blind and was called by the big blind and another opponent in middle position.

The flop came 8♥A♣3♣ and action checked to the middle-position player, who bet 3,500. Only Nazari called.

The turn was the 6♥ and the middle-position player bet another 6,500. Nazari again called to see the 10♥ river, where he led out for 10,000. His opponent called, and Nazari turned over 6♦6♣ for a set. His opponent tossed A♦K♦ into the muck, and Nazari took down the big pot.

Papa Karn, the father of RunGood founder Tana Karn, is also at this table to start off the day.
