After The High Roller, The Main Event

Maxime Taldir

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante

Winner of the $10,500 High Roller this week, Damir Zhugralin is now playing in the Main Event to try to win a second event in the festival. He is doing great so far with 340,000 chips, more than average.

And he keeps winning small pots, like when he three-bet from the button to 22,000 after an open by the cutoff to 7,500. On the flop 4?7?K?, he bet 16,500 on the first street, then 54,000 on the river Q?. He was called the first time, but not the second time.

A few hands later, he found himself in the hijack against the big blind on K?J?6?. Once again, he made a continuation bet and was called. But shortly after he bet on the turn 4?, his opponent folded.
