Sapiano Wins Multiple Small Pots

Matt Warburton

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Albert Sapiano has been chipping up, winning three small pots in a row with raises and flop bets. He made a move all in following an early position raise and small blind reraise, which was enough to take one down preflop.

In the latest hand, Paruyr Mamikonyan raised from under the gun, Sapiano called in the small blind and Daniel Rudd called in the big blind. The flop came K♥10♦J♠ and Sapiano led out for 1,000. Rudd folded and so did Mamikonyan.
