Lazaro Navigates Three Way Pot
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Hunter Barnett opened to 160,000 from early position and was called by Rene Lazaro in the cutoff as well as Manh Nguyen in the big blind.
Nguyen checked following the A♦10♥4♠ flop and Barnett continued for 225,000. Lazaro made the call while Nguyen chose to get out of the way.
The J♥ turn saw Barnett slow down, checking to Lazaro who slid a minimum bet of 80,000 into the middle. Barnett thought for quite some time but ultimately decided he could not withstand the pressure of even that bet and mucked to send an early pot over to Lazaro.
