Alsaden’s Postflop Aggression Takes Down Pot

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Iman Alsaden was in middle position and found herself involved in four-way preflop action.

The board showed 3♣Q♦5♥ and the player to Alsaden’s immediate right led out for 1,700. Alsaden raised to 3,500, but saw a player in late position call, the player in the big blind call, and the opponent to her right call.

The turn showed 10♣, which drew a check from the player to Alsaden’s right. She didn’t slow down, though, and bet 5,200. The action once again drew a call from the opponent in late position and a fold from the player in the big blind. The player to her immediate right called and the pot grew to more than 25,000.

The dealer placed 10♠ on the river to pair the board. Alsaden’s opponent to the right checked and Alsaden grabbed a 25,000 chip before announcing an 18,000 bet, which forced the player in late position out of the hand.

Alsaden’s remaining opponent, however, went in the tank and shuffled chips in his right hand. He looked at the board for a few moments before turning over Q♣ and mucking his hand.

“Too much,” Alsaden said as she realized the bet sizing forced her opponent to not call.
