Punish the Limpers
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
By the time action had worked its way round to Richard Florestan in the small blind, three players had already limped in. Florestan punished the limpers by raising to 7,500. Alejandro Jauregui called from the big blind, but the rest of the table folded.
Both players checked the 7♠8♦2♣ flop, but Florestan picked the betting lead up again on the J♠ turn, putting out a bet of 10,000. Jauregui made the call.
The dealer flipped over the 2♠ river, and Florestan put out another 10,000 bet. Again, Jauregui called but was shown bad news. Florestan tabled A♠A♥, which was good enough to claim the pot, and Jauregui mucked his cards.
