Jorstad Escapes, Gregg Scoops with a River Raise
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Jose Montes opened to 1,800 in middle position and was called by James Gregg on his left. Espen Jorstad three-bet to 7,400 on the button and both Montes and Gregg called.
The flop fell 10♥8♠3♥ and the action checked around to the 6♠ on the turn. Montes led out with a bet of 11,000 which Gregg called and Jorstad stepped aside.
The river was the 2♠ and Montes fired out another bet of 12,000. Gregg raised to 41,000 which sent Montes into the tank for nearly three minutes before he finally dumped his cards in the muck.
The reigning 2022 Main Event champion is still off to a strong start on Day 2abc after scoring an early knockout with pocket kings.
