Paulsen Strikes Early

Level 1: 100 / 200 ante: 200

Kai Paulsen

Sweden’s Johan Linden opens from UTG for 600 and gets callers in Antonio Abesamis of the Philippines from the HJ as well as Norway’s Kai Danilo Paulsen in the BB.

The flop comes A♥ 8♥ T♠ as Paulsen checks. Linden continues for 1,000 and gets called by both his adversaries. The turn is the K♣ and this time all three players check. The river is the Q♦ and this time, Paulsen leads out for 1,500. Linden folds but Abesamis makes the call.

The Norwegian shows K♠ J♥ for top pair on the turn. Abesamis mucks.
