Pacheco Pounding Away Early
Level 3
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
With about 6,000 in the middle, four players went to the turn and a board of 7?6?5?A? was in the center of the table.
After a bet of 2,200 from middle position, Bob Carswell called in late position and Nicholas Pacheco called on the button.
The trio saw a river 7? fall and after a check, Carswell bet 5,000. Pacheco then raised to 16,000, which got a fold from the middle position player, but Carswell called, asking to see the seven.
Pacheco did better than that, turning over 8?4? for a flopped eight-high straight to take the latest in a series of pots that's seen him build a healthy six-figure stack already.
