Erwin Co is one of the late entries for Day 1B and according to the Filipino, it’s part of his style and strategy to “not indulge into too many pots very early.”
After this hand, it appears that plan is paying off.
On a board of 8♥ 4♠ 9♠ J♥ 3♦ we saw him facing a big 5,400 bet from an opponent across the table.
He thought for a bit but 10 seconds later decided to make the call.
It was the right decision as he was shown the opponent’s 10♣ K♣, behind his J♦ K♦ for top pair.
Co climbs to around 29,000 with just a few hands played so far.
