Jude Ainsworth Chips Up
Team PokerStars Pro Jude Ainworth has got off to a great start and now finds himself armed with 38,000 chips.
Ainsworth opened the betting with a raise to 250 from the hijack and it generated plenty of action for the Irishman. First, Rodrigo Seiji called from the cutoff, then Iosif Beskrovnyy squeezed to 650 from the big blind. Ainsworth instantly reached for chips and four-bet to what looked like 2,300 and both of his opponents called immediately.
The dealer fanned out the 
flop, Beskrovnyy checked, Ainsworth bet 3,500 and only Beskrovnyy called. The turn was the 
and both players checked. The fifth and final community card was the 
and when Beskrovnyy checked, Ainsworth put a solitary 5,000 blue chip into the pot stating he intended to bet 4,000. Beskrovnyy confirmed the bet amount before flicking his cards back to the dealer.
First blood to Ainsworth.
