Kotvas Takes Down Early Pot
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Mohamed Aissaoui kicked things off from under the gun with a raise to 500, and both Marco Jansen in middle position and Jiri Kotvas in the hijack called. Mazlum Celik, sitting in the small blind, responded with a three-bet to 2,500, which all three players called.
The flop came down K?3?6?, and Celik continued the aggression with a 3,500 bet. Aissaoui and Kotvas both called, while Jansen bowed out.
When the 7? landed on the river, Celik's confidence seemed to fade, as he checked, and Aissaoui did the same. Sensing an opportunity, Kotvas fired a bet of 12,000, which quickly prompted folds from the other two players. Kotvas scooped up a solid early pot.
