Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Nicholas Seward
Nicholas Seward

Nicholas Seward raised from early position, and Michael Casella defended his big blind.

Casella checked the 8♦J♦10♣ flop, and Seward bet 800. Casella check-raised to 2,500, which Seward called.

Casella continued on the J♠ turn, firing 3,000. Again, Seward called.

The K♥ completed the board, and Casella bet 4,000. Seward raised to 21,500, leaving himself around 23,000 behind. After a few moments, Casella jammed for 48,600.

Seward immediately let out a small shake of the head before settling into a tank. After several minutes of deliberation, he eventually folded, relinquishing the pot to Casella.
