Tetsuya Tsuchikawa with a nice early win


Tetsuya Tsuchikawa earned himself a sizable 6850 pot here in level 2. Tsuchikawa started off the hand by raising to 300 from under-the-gun. A mid-position player and the cutoff seat player both called and they all went to see a flop of A 8 4. Acting first, Tsuchikawa led for 650 and got one caller in the cutoff player. At the turn of 3, Tsuchikawa sent out a continuation bet of 1000, and again he was called. Then on the river of 9, Tsuchikawa slowed down and checked to his opponent who bet 2500. Tsuchikawa flat-called. Tsuchikawa won the hand with his 8 9 two pair.
