Priplotski Shipped On
With the action folding round to the small blind, he made it 1,200 to go only to have Roman Priplotski bump it to 3,500 from the big blind.
The small blind made the call before leading for 4,000 on the flop with Priplotski smooth-calling as the rolled off on the turn.
Greeted by a check, Priplotski fired out 8,600 only to have his opponent play the sneaky check-raise play by making it 30,000 total.
Priplotski kicked his cards to the muck to relinquish the pot, but won't be fazed too much as his 39,000-chip stack still sees him in a position to mount a charge at day two. Throw in the fact he recently finished runner up in the Joe Hachem Deep Stack Series $550 Main Event for AU$48,000, and Priplotski is full of confidence and skill to make him a dangerous threat for tablemates Hugh Cohen, Michael O'Grady and Danny Huynh.
