Akshaya Kothari Bags Early Boost

Level 1: 100 / 100 ante: 100

With a pot of 3,200 in the middle on flop 5♥ 7♦ T♥ , Akshaya Kothari launched a 2,500 bet on the button and was check called by his opponent Paul Zehetleiner.

Zehetleiner check called another 7,000 on turn T♠ and checked river T♠ a third time around. Kothari decided to slow down, taking his A♦ A♥ to showdown, more than enough to bag the win against Zehetleiner's 9♦ 9♣ .
