Sarah Herzali
Sarah Herzali

Sarah Herzali opened preflop in early position and Rab Ait Abdelmalek called in the button before calling again a continuation-bet on the {7-Diamonds}{q-}{7-Clubs} flop.

The duo has checked the turn {a-Diamonds} and the Team Pro PMU Poker check-folded after a bet of 2700 chips on the {7-Hearts}.

A very small hit for the stack of one of the few women already in the field. Sarah and her opponent have more than the starting stack after two hours of play.
