Gil Finds an Unorthodox Check-Raise for Value
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
There was around 100,000 in the pot already with Azzedine Mehal and Abraham Gil heads-up. The board read A♠3♣2♦K♣ and Mehal had a bet of 32,000 in front of him on the button. Gil check-raised the minimum to 64,000 and Mehal tanked for a minute before calling.
Gil opted to check blind before the Q♣ hit the felt and Mehal announced a five. He then checked and announced "five" once more. Gil flipped over 10♠10♥ and that turned out to be the best hand as Mehal mucked his cards.
