Lazzara Takes It on the River
Level 1
: 100/100, 100 ante
A player in early position opened to 300 and was called by Russel Lazzara in the hijack and Steve Patch in the small blind. The flop dropped 
and Patch checked to the original opener, who continuation-bet 1,000. Lazzara called and Patch folded.
Action was then heads up to the turn 
, where the early-position player continued with a second barrel for 3,000. Lazzara wasted no time calling and the river fell 
. The early-position player checked and Lazzara tossed out a bet of 4,500.
Lazzara's opponent thought for half a minute, sliding his cards on the felt as he deliberated before sending them to the muck to earn Lazzara the pot with his river bet.
