Tsachalis Extends Early Lead

Brett Slezak

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Alex Queen opened to 800 on the button and Zachery Tsachalis called in the big blind.

On the A♠9♦7♣ flop, Tsachalis check-called a bet of 600 from Queen.

Tsachalis checked again on the 5♣ turn as Queen sized up 2,200, and Tsachalis called once again.

On the K♥ river, Tsachalis quickly check-called a final barrel of 5,000 from Queen.

Alex Queen: Q♣6♣
Zachery Tsachalis: A♦J♣

Queen was bluffing with a missed gutter and flush draw, unable to get Tsachalis off his flopped top pair.
