Early Pot For Nassif

[user252447]

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

In the early stages of a tournament the pots are generally small as players feel each other out and get into their stride, not wanting to take too many risks with their stack. Occasionally though there is an interesting hand that isn’t necessarily about what cards the players are holding.

There was an open to 300 from a mid-position player and PokerStars Team Online pro Gabriel Nassif made the call as did the player in the big blind.

The flop was and the initial raiser made it 725. Nassif made the call and the big blind then folded. The turn card saw a further call from Nassif, this time the bet went up to 1,500. The river card completed the board and now the initial raiser checked. Nassif gave it a few moments thought before taking 2,000 from his stack and making the wager. His opponent let his hand go and Nassif took the pot.
