The Lady Leads

[user162117]

We have a new chip leader thanks to Amanda Musumeci recently taking a pot from Ryan Olisar. The hand in question was opened by Olisar to 80,000. Musumeci then three-bet to 210,000 on the button and Olisar made the call as some cards were dealt on the felt.

Flop: {8-Spades} {k-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}

On the flop, Olisar check-called a bet of 180,000 form Musumeci and a {k-Clubs} would hit the turn. This time both players would check and the {4-Diamonds} would complete the board on the river.

This time when Olisar checked, Musumeci readied a big bet. She had over 500,000 ready to bet and started placing stacks of 100,000 out onto the felt. The tournament director classified the way she bet as a string bet and Musumeci was forced to bet 105,000 - the amount which the first small stack she put onto the felt was.

Olisar immediately called the small bet and then mucked his hand as Musumeci turned over {a-Diamonds} {a-Spades} . Musumeci then asked Olisar if he would have called a bigger bet. He didn't tell her the answer.
