Casella up Early

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Vitalijs Korhs opened to 600 from early positon and was three-bet to 1,500 by Michael Casella in the hijack. Fayek Salhab called cold on the button and Korhs called as well for an inflated three-way pot.

Korhs led out for 1,400 on the 767 flop, which got a call from Casella and a fold from Salhab.

Korhs barreled for 2,100 on the 3 turn and Casella again called.

The K completed the board and and Korhs checked, prompting a 6,000 bet from Casella. Korhs wanted nothing to do with it and let his hand go — conceding the pot to the recent bracelet winner.
