Craigen Holding Steady

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A player opened to 1,200 from middle position and Glen Craigen called in the cutoff. The button then three-bet to 3,500, enough to force the initial raiser out of the hand but not the Canadian platinum pass winner, who flatted.

Craigen checked following the 2♣3♠3♦ flop before quickly folding after his opponent continued for 3,000 to keep his stack hovering around starting nearing the first break of the day.
