Josh_Cahlik

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Anastasios Vrakas was under the gun and he opened the action with a raise to 12,000. It folded to Bo Kjaer Erichsen in middle position and he announced a three-bet to 24,500. Action trickled around to Charlie Carrel in the small blind and he thought for just under a minute before sliding out calling chips. The big blind folded while Vrakas came along to see a flop.

The dealer fanned and Carrel checked. Vrakas opted to lead at the pot for 50,000 and Erichsen got out of the way. Carrel once again put a sizable amount of thought into the decision before ultimately opting to lay his cards down. Vrakas won the pot and brought his stack up to about 215,000.
