Lebedev Takes an Early Pot
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/1,000, 1,000 ante
With roughly 60,000 in the middle, Sergey Lebedev and Brian Whiteman were looking at a board of J♣4♦7♠4♠.
Whiteman, in the big blind, led out on the turn for 30,000, and Lebedev called.
When the 3♣ river landed, Whiteman slowed down, giving Lebedev the green light to bet himself, doing so for 75,000. This was too rich for Whiteman as he returned his cards to the dealer.
