Kawazu Wins Battle Preflop
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Motomi Kawazu began the action with an open to 3,500 from the hijack. Kathy Liebert came along with a call on the button.
Jermaine Gerlin was interested in putting more chips in the pot, as he chose to three-bet to 13,000 from the big blind.
Kawazu reopened the bidding with a four-bet to 30,000. Liebert bowed out with a fold, and Gerlin gave it little thought before he ejected his hand to award Kawazu the pot preflop.
