Three-Bets Not Working for Hammann
Level 2
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Manuel Alvarez opened to 800 from early position, and Benjamin Hammann immediately three-bet to 2,000 from the next seat over. However, his aggression was bested by Alvaro Ramajo, who made it 5,200 from the hijack. Alvarez and Hammann quickly folded.
Alvarez raised to 800 again on the next deal, and Hamman continued to make it 2,000. There was no four-bet this time as Nicolas Chronis called from the small blind before Alvarez stuck around.
Chronis and Alvarez called a bet of 1,400 on the 10♥9♠4♦ flop before the 2♠ turn and 7♣ river checked through to showdown.
Chronis had a huge hand in AxKx but his cautious possibly cost him the pot as Alavrez had a pair of nines with A♦9♦. Hammann couldn't beat either hand and mucked.
