Russell Chips Up Early
Level 1
: 100/100, 0 ante
There were three players to the turn on a board of 
and around 4,000 in the middle. Brennan Russell was first to act in middle position and made a bet of 3,000. The hijack folded and the player on the button called.
Action was then heads up to the river 
, where Russell took a bet of 4,000 and cut it onto the felt. The player on the button thought for about a minute and then slid his cards forward to the muck, earning Russell the pot without showdown and increasing his stack to 39,000 in the first half of Level 1.
