Lou Takes Lead Early

[user162117]

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

We arrived at the table as Leo Boxell opened to 225 from under the gun. Jess Lou made the call from the hijack before the player in the cut off bumped it up to 625. Dean Francis made the call from the blinds as Boxell mucked his hand. Lou made the call.

Francis and Lou both checked the flop before their opponent threw out a continuation bet of 700. Both players made the call to see the fall on the turn.

Francis checked before Lou reached for his chips. He slid out a bet of 1,400 and watched as the player in the cut off raised it up to 4,000. Francis got out of the way as Lou sat motionless. After a moment he raised it up to 9,000 which was enough to take down the pot as his opponents cards flew into the muck.

Lou now sits on 27,000 in chips.
