"Easy Bet" for Anderson

Adam Lamers

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Calvin Anderson raised it up in early position and Nikita Kuznetsov called on his left. The rest of the table folded and the dealer fanned the flop of 10♦7♦3♣.

"Easy bet," Anderson blurted as he threw in a bet of 2,500. Kuznetsov called and the 4♥ peeled off on the turn. Anderson checked this time.

"Easier bet," Kuznetsov replied but thought for a moment before betting 5,500. Anderson instantly splashed in the last of his 22,000 chips and the two exchanged some pleasantries before Kuznetsov finally decided to fold.

Tsang continued with a bet of 2,100 and Reard raised to 6,600. Tsang called and the 10♥ landed on the turn. Tsang checked this time and Reard threw in a bet of 13,000 which prompted a fold from Tsang.
