Venneri Chips Up; Ensan and Gilboa Shorter
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Four ways to a 
flop for 1,100 each, Michael Allen bet 800 when checked to and forced folds all around.
In the next hand, Allen raised to 700 again and earned four callers including Hossein Ensan and Antonino Venneri. The 
flop was checked to Allen and he bet 1,000. Ensan called and Venneri raised to 3,500 in order to force folds all around.
Venneri exposed the 
and Ensan nodded. Both Ensan and Uri Gilboa have dropped to fewer than half the starting stack in the first three levels.
