Vagner Jams for More than Pot on the Flop

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Georgios Karakousis opened to 80,000 from early position, Stefan Vagner three-bet to 250,000 in the cutoff, and Martin Kozlov went deep into the tank on the button. He cut out all of his yellow T25,000 chips, studying Vagner, then finally slid his cards into the muck.

The action folded back to Karakousis, who tank-called, and the flop fell {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. Karakousis, checked, and Vagner moved all in for 905,000 - a bet worth nearly 150% of the pot.

Karakousis tank-folded, and the players are now on a 30-minute break. Full counts are coming shortly.
