Etheridge Applies the Pressure

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Yuichi Sumida raised to 1,000 in middle position, Gaurav Makkar flatted on the button, and Brian Etheridge three-bet to 3,200 in the small blind. Sumida called and Makkar got out of the way.

The flop came 9J3 and Etheridge continued with a bet of 4,500. Sumida called, bringing the 7 turn.

Etheridge didn't slow down and fired out a bet of 8,500, prompting Sumida to give up his hand.
