Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Table chipleader Jakub Sterba opened to 5,000 under the gun. Trung Hieu Nguyen three-bet to 18,000 from the cutoff, and the two went heads up to the A♦2♦A♣ flop when Sterba called.
Sterba check-called Nguyen's continuation-bet of 16,000, after which both players checked the Q♣ turn.
Sterba then took a stab at the pot on the Q♦ river with a bet of 35,000, but he quickly folded when Nguyen raised to 130,000.
