Iakobishvili Takes a First Pot
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Gha Iakobishvili opened to 2,500 from under the gun, and everybody folded to Sam Greenwood who defended his big blind.
On the flop A♦A♣3♥, Iakobishvili made a continuation bet to 1,000, but Greenwood check-raised to 5,000. "Why do you raise on the flop?," Iakobishvili seemed to say with his hands, while looking at Greenwood.
He quickly called, then both players checked on the turn 10♦. The 9♣ came on the river, and Greenwood bet 12,000.
Iakobishvili called almost immediately with A♥J♦ and scooped the pot, as Greenwood had 5♣4♣.
