A Very Effective Check Raise

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Michael Tabarelli
Michael Tabarelli

The board read {J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades} when we picked up the action, as Michael Tabarelli was facing a check-raise. Tabarelli had 14,600 out in front of him while the man on his direct right, had put in 32,000.

Tabarelli pondered for a bit before ultimately calling Halil Baybars' check-raise.

On the river the {Q-Hearts} hit and Baybars decided to check again, after which Tabarelli fired out 22,000. Baybars went into the tank for about a minute before he moved all in, covering his opponent.

Tabarelli seemed shocked and he clearly had not anticipated this move as he went into the tank for about a minute. Ultimately Tabarelli let go of his hand and Baybars smiled as he raked in this big pot.
