Ante Up, Here Comes the Croc

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Just level three and the antes have kicked in. No doubt the aggression levels will ramp up a notch as each pot is inflated.

Paul Newey was involved in a hand just now from the button in a three way pot as the flop showed {4-Spades}{6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. Newey check-called a bet of 1,500 with the aggressive Russian player Anatoly Filatov folding the big blind. The turn card {3-Diamonds} saw Newey bet 4,300 when it was then checked to him and he took the chips in the middle.

Newey is just above starting stack but Filatov has dropped a little. On another table we spotted Byron Kaverman who has got off to a good start.

Billy “The Croc” Argyros has just bought in too, no doubt hoping to improve on his position last year where he made the final table.
