Clementi Pumps Up the Aggression

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante
Leonard Clementi
Leonard Clementi

Leonard Clementi was just seen taking down a pot versus an opponent on the turn with a pair of aces on board. Clementi bet, was check-raised, and then took down the pot with a three-bet that got his opponent to fold.

On the very next hand, Clementi opened the action with a raise to 300 in the cutoff and was called by the player on the button. Clementi's opponent from the prior hand three-bet to 1,300 in the small blind and saw both players call, taking action three ways to a flop of {k-Spades}{2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. The small blind made a continuation-bet of 1,300 and Clementi called.

After the player on the button folded, action went heads up to the turn {q-Spades} where both players checked. The river came {a-Diamonds} and the small blind checked again. Clementi reached for chips, grabbing enough to bet 4,000 and tossing them into the middle.

"Fold," said the small blind from the one-seat. The dealer looked for confirmation of what he said through the Plexiglas, and he moved his hand onto his cards and slid them forward to the muck for confirmation.
