Fast Start For Chulpan Garaev

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Chulpan Garaev was in the big blind and check-called a bet of 1,100 from Sergey Malyavko on the turn of a board reading {5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{q-Hearts}.

The river was the {a-Clubs} and as Malyavko took delivery of and sipped his espresso, Garaev gathered some chips and bet 3,000.

Malyavko had a few peeks at his hole cards before deciding to let his hand go and the pot was pushed to Garaev who has had a very profitable first couple of levels and has nearly doubled his starting stack already.
