Meng Applies Pressure
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Justin Meng, best known for running his jacks right into the cowboys of a PokerNews reporter deep in the $250 WSOP Daily Deepstack, has gotten off to a good start in this event.
A player opened to 1,200 from middle position and was called by the button as well as Meng out of the small blind.
Meng checked following the 3♠5♦6♥ flop and the preflop aggressor continued for 1,900. That was enough to force the button out of the hand but not Meng, who just called.
Action checked through the 9♠ turn to the J♠ river at which point Meng took over the betting lead, pushing a hefty 4,800 into the middle. That got a fold from his opponent to keep Meng chipping up.
