Big Bets and Folds Under Pressure
Level 1
The third level of the heat (150/300-50) is underway and every table still has a full allotment of players. The shot clock is working very well as the place of play moves also at a brisk pace.
Rather than seeing players make rash calls, a lot of hands are seeing players folding to big bets or raises. An aggressive approach seems to be working well alongside the time restrictions. It'll be interesting to see if players adjust as the heats roll on.
Guiliano Bendinelli and Oleksii Khoroshenin both won chunky pots with big river raises. Ami Barer and Christopher Frank were their respective opponents and both admitted defeat with their short clock time.
