Peluso's Pressure Forces a Fold
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Fabio Peluso opened the action from early position with a raise to 700, and Krishna Madhariwar made the call in the small blind.
On the Q♦A♦10♥ flop, Madhariwar checked, and Peluso quickly followed up with a 1,000 continuation bet, which Madhariwar called without hesitation.
The A♠ turn brought another check from Madhariwar, and Peluso kept up the pressure with a 2,800 bet. Madhariwar called once again.
When the J♦ river landed, Madhariwar checked for the third time. This time, Peluso ramped up the aggression, betting 8,000. Madhariwar took his time, apologizing to the table for the long tank. In the end, he decided to fold, and Peluso scooped a nice pot in the early stages of the tournament.
