Azor's "Donk-Bet" Gets The Job Done
Level 21
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Our newly crowned chip leader Walid Bou Habib saw the action fold to him int he cutoff and he set the price to play at 25,000. Erik Cajelais foolded his button but Ran Azor put up some resistance in the small blind and he called. Joseph El Khoury, in the big blind, also called.
The dealer placed the flop onto the felt and Azor made the uncharacteristic play of leading out from out of position. Some refer to this play as a "donk bet." Regardless of what you want to call it, it worked because Azor's two active opponents quickly became inactive and folded.
