First Skirmishes Heads-Up; Apter Drags Most Pots

Both Brett Apter and Anatolii Zyrin are playing at a rapid pace, and the first few minutes of the heads-up saw quite a few pots being played out with both players opting for a limping strategy. First, it was Apter who limped in, Zyrin who made it 700,000, then Apter who shoved and Zyrin who snap-folded.

Apter took down another hand when he bet 250,000 on an flop and 1,350,000 on the the. The turn overbet worked as Zyrin gave it up.

Another pot went to Apter when he bet 550,000 on an flop, called by Zyrin. The turn went check/check and Zyrin folded to a 650,000 river bet. Apter then dragged another small one with ace-high on showdown to rise to 7.3 million.
