Cabrera Takes Control With Check-Raise

[user67765]

Hold'em:

Nick Georgoulas raised to 40,000 and Abel Cabrera made the call. They took a flop of {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

and Cabrera led for 20,000 with Georgoulas making the call.

The turn landed the {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

and Cabrera checked. Georgoulas put out 40,000 but Cabrera shocked him with a check-raise to 80,000. Georgoulas sighed and mucked {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

face-up to leave himself with only around 70,000 and under pressure to overcome the huge blinds.
