Five-Bet Gets it Done
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Thomas Boivin opened up the action from under the gun with a raise to 2,300. He got very little respect, as Marwan Salamoun three-bet to 7,500 from the small blind. In between the two, Clement Kerrien then put on his sunglasses, before putting in a cold four-bet, deciding that 17,500 was the right sizing.
Boivin, however, demanded more respect, as he went for an extremely small, almost min-five-bet, to 29,000. This time, both other players respected the raise, and he picked up 25 bigs uncontested.
