Costa Makes an Early Move
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ihor Popyk opened to 6,000 from under the gun, and William Brice made the call on the button. Neville Costa came along in the big blind, and the 4♣8♣7♣ flop was revealed.
All three players checked to see A♦ turn, where Costa checked once more. Popyk announced a bet of 8,000, producing a fold from Brice.
Costa check-raised to 35,000, and Popyk quickly folded.
