Netaliev Off to a Good Start
Level 1
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Oleg Netaliev opened to 1,000 from under the gun and received calls from Mohamad El Siblani in early position and Antoine Labaky in the hijack.
The flop came J?7?2? and Netaliev fired a 2,500 continuation bet. El Siblani called while Labaky got out of the way.
El Siblani called another bet from Netaliev on the 3? turn, this time for 7,500.
The river was the 9?. Netaliev bet a third time for 15,000 and El Siblani made the call.
Netaliev tabled A?J? for top pair, top kicker.
"Very nice hand" El Siblani told his opponent as he sent his hand into the muck allowing Netaliev to take down a sizable early pot.
