Sylvestre Fighting Back

Nível 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Charles Sylvestre seems to be the only player capable of slowing Seth Berger's momentum, as he continues to open pots aggressively. In a recent hand, Sylvestre three-bet an 85,000 open from Berger to 225,000. After Berger called, Sylvestre followed up with a continuation-bet of the same size on a flop, to which Berger folded.
