Early Double for Puchalski
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Following an open raise to 800, four players called and that led them to the 9?8?4? flop on which it checked to the initial raiser. A continuation bet of 1,200 followed and Dezhong Li then raised to 5,300. Alexander Puchalski in the small blind check-raised to 10,300 to force out all other players except for Li, who pushed all-in and was quickly called by Puchalski.
Alexander Puchalski: 8?8?
Dezhong Li: J?10?
Middle set versus the open-ended straight draw had Puchalski ahead, and that remained to be the case throughout the 10? turn and A? river. Puchalski doubled for 30,800 and Li was left with around 2,000 but already bolted out of the tournament area.
