Rollercoaster for Weisner

gaellej

Nível 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

On a board with 2,750 already in the middle, Melanie Weisner opted for a small 500 bet, which was enough to make her opponent fold. She was up around 12,000 after that hand.

A few moments later, Weisner called a four-bet pot preflop for 1,250 in middle position after a short tank, followed by the button calling as well. The initial raiser in the small blind then continued on the flop for 1,050, and both players called.

The action slowed down on the turn as everyone checked, but heated up after the river. The first player checked and Weisner fired 4,000. The button folded but Weisner was called by the small blind.

Melanie Weisner:
Small Blind:

Weisner's opponent had hit a gunshot on the river for the straight, and now Weisner is down to approximately 3,200.
