Level 1 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Toni Kaukua
Toni Kaukua

Seyed Ghavam opened to 1,200 from early position and received calls from Toni Kaukua in middle position and the player in the hijack. However, the cutoff decided to squeeze to 5,000. A move that scared the hijack player, who was the only one to fold.

On the 8?9?5? flop, the cutoff made a continuation bet of 7,500. This time, Ghavam folded, while Kaukua kept calling. The 4? appeared on the turn, and Kaukua took the lead, betting 22,000. The hijack called, and the river brought the 4?.

Kaukua checked during this final street and folded when his opponent bet 53,000 chips.
