Peterson With an Early Big Stack
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action opened with the player under the gun raising to 2,700. The hijack called, as did Milagros Peterson from the big blind.
The flop came 5♠3♦10♣. Peterson check-called a bet of 3,500 from the player under the gun, while the hijack got out of the way. The A♥ came on the turn, and Peterson again check-called a bet, this time for 8,000.
A 5♥ hit the river, and Peterson led out for 15,000. Her opponent then raised to 40,000. Peterson thought for about two minutes before throwing in a call. Her A♣2♣ gave her the pot when her opponent mucked K♣Q♦ for a straight draw that never came.
