Gutsy Move Earns Held More Chips

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Konstantin Held
Konstantin Held

Konstantin Held raised to 125,000 from under the gun and then folded when chip leader Razvan Belea jammed out of the big blind.

One hand later, Mathieu Di Meglio raised to 125,000 on the button for Held to quickly call in the big blind. The {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop was checked by Held, who then faced a bet of 80,000 by his opponent. What followed was a check-raise to 320,000 by Held and that sent Di Meglio deep into the tank.

Four time banks were used by the Frenchman before he flat-called and they headed to the {8-Clubs} turn. Held now used a time bank extension himself and moved all-in for Di Meglio to ask for an exact count. The all-in was for 1,155,000 and Di Meglio sigh-folded.

Held grabbed his cards, showed them to Belea and then exposed the {5-Spades}{2-Spades} for a gutshot straight flush draw. "I knew you had something like that," Belea mentioned in table chat.
