Fitzgerald Finds His Card

Alex Fitzgerald

From late position, Alex Fitzgerald opened with a raise to 5,100. In one of the blinds, Alexey Maslov three-bet it up to 16,800, and Fitzgerald eventually moved all in for a total of 54,500. After a short pause, his opponent made the call to put Fitzgerald at risk.

Fitzgerald tabled {K-Clubs} {8-Clubs}, and he was pleased to see that he was drawing live versus the {A-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} of Maslov. The flop brought another reason to be happy as it came {3-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {8-Hearts} to pull Fitzgerald into a big lead. The turn {8-Spades} sealed the deal, giving him the unbeatable trip eights, and securing him a double up back over 100,000 for the first time in many hours.
