Samavati Gets Aggressive

Jeremy Geist

Level 6 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There was a late position open to 2,500 and they only got one call when Navid Samavati defended his big blind.

The 5?2?2? flop landed and action checked to the opener who continued for 1,600. After a moment in the tank Samavati put in a check-raise to 5,000. His opponent thought it over and then flicked in a call.

The 4? rolled off on the turn introducing a backdoor flush draw. Samavati took his time and then put out a big wager of 12,000. His opponent went into the tank but eventually found a fold.

Samavati dragged the pot and is currently sitting with a top three stack.
