Easy Does It

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Action has slowed down considerably as the final three players start to draw even to one another.

On a recent hand, Kulwant Singh raised to 600,000 and Bryan Saltzman three-bet to 1,700,000. Singh immediately placed a stack of gray T-500,000 chips in the middle and Saltzman went into the tank. After a few moments of thought he tossed it in the muck and gave Singh the pot.

Singh Opens Up a Lead

Level 30 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Paul Serrate raised to 700,000 from the small blind and Kulwant Singh called from the big blind. The flop was {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.

Serrate bet 500,000 and Singh called to see {4-Hearts} on the turn. Serrate bet 1,100,000 on the turn and Singh called once again.

The river was {5-Hearts} and Serrate checked. Singh fired 3,000,000 and Serrate looked down at his stack to see slightly more before he made the disappointing fold.

Singh has chipped up steadily with pressure throughout the last level and he now sits with a comfortable lead.
