Fitzgerald Getting Feisty

[user38449]

Alex Fitzgerald has wasted no time making his presence known over on the non-feature table. The Seattle, Washington native took down the first two pots he played at his new table, earning each without a showdown.

In the first hand, action folded around the table to Ovidiu Mihai Balaj in the small blind, who made it 57,000 for Fitzgerald to play. Almost immediately, Fitzgerald announced, "I'm all in," and Balaj eventually surrendered.

Seconds later, now in the small blind and facing a raise to 70,000 from Dragan Galic in the cutoff, Fitzgerald reraised, making it a total of 202,000 to play. Galic tanked for what seemed like an eternity before eventually letting go of his holecards.

Thanks to his short surge, Fitzgerald now has right around 800,000 in chips.
