The Power of Position

Rami Boukai, winner of Event No. 10 ($2,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha) is here.

After a player in the cutoff limped, Boukai raised from the button (to 100), and the big blind and cutoff both called. The flop came {8-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. It checked to Boukai who bet (50), and both players called. The turn was the {5-Hearts}, it checked to Boukai who bet again (100 this time), and both folded.

On the very next hand, the player who had limped before did so again, and Boukai again raised from the cutoff. Once more the big blind and limper came along. The flop came {9-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, both checked to Boukai who bet, and both folded.

Boukai chips up to 5,300 here in the early going.
