Rolands Norietis Raises the Flop

Level 1: 100 / 200 ante: 200
Rolands Norietis

In a single-raised pot with 500 preflop three ways, the flop shows 9 8 2 . Kristopher Rundquist bets 1,000 when checked to and Bas de Laat calls. Rolands Norietis then check-raises to 4,000 and Rundquist eventually folds, as does de Laat.


"Top top," Rundquist says and adds "it's possible he had an overpair".
