Bad Start For Lopes

Maxime Taldir

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

French rapper Bruno Lopes is having an off-day so far, as his stack has already decreased to 43,000 chips.

It continued to decrease after he opened with a bet of 500 from the button. The small blind called and A♦Q♠A♥ came on the flop. "Kool Shen" continued for 200 and his opponent check-called.

On the turn 5♠, both players checked. On the river 4♣, the small blind tried to take the pot by betting 1,200. This move was successful, as Lopes folded.
