Kotvas Takes Down Early Pot
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Mohamed Aissaoui kicked things off from under the gun with a raise to 500, and both Marco Jansen in middle position and Jiri Kotvas in the hijack called. Mazlum Celik, sitting in the small blind, responded with a three-bet to 2,500, which all three players called.
The flop came down K♦3♠6♣, and Celik continued the aggression with a 3,500 bet. Aissaoui and Kotvas both called, while Jansen bowed out.
When the 7♣ landed on the river, Celik's confidence seemed to fade, as he checked, and Aissaoui did the same. Sensing an opportunity, Kotvas fired a bet of 12,000, which quickly prompted folds from the other two players. Kotvas scooped up a solid early pot.
