Wardlaw Wins One
Level 5
: 300/600, 100 ante
Many players automatically raise when the action folds to them on the button so a raise from this position is not always indicative of strength, so when Jens Eisner made it 1,525 to go from the button, it wasn't a surprise that Sam Wardlaw defended his small blind with a three-bet to 3,600. Eisner called and it was heads-up to the flop.
Wardlaw fired a continuation bet of 3,000 and just as we thought a big raise could have been coming in from Eisner, Eisner folded and left Wardlaw to collect the pot.
