Bad River for Engel

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante
Ari Engel
Ari Engel

Ari Engel was up against a player in the big blind, who led out 650 on the {2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} turn. Engel opted for a raise, making it 2,150. His opponent called to see the {4-Clubs} river.

The player in the big blind checked quickly, and Engel paused for a few seconds before checking back. He saved himself from a deeper wound as his rival rolled over {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a flush.

The first level hasn't been going well for Engel, who's already more than 70 big blinds shorter.
