Schratz Calls Bluff to Take Giant Pot
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Patrick Schratz opened to 20,000 from the small blind. Ender Lacin called in the big blind as the table's chip-leader and it went to a flop.
It came 10♦2♦8♥, which Lacin checked before facing a bet of 20,000 from Schratz's. Lacin then instantly raised to 50,000 and the German called as it went to the turn.
An 8♣ landed, which Lacin bet out for 40,000 and Schratz called.
The Turk quickly shoved all in on the 5♦ river. Schratz was covered, but found a call and took the pot down with trip eights - tabling K♥8♦. Lacin hit top pair on the flop but didn't improve, showing 10♥6♦.
Schratz won the very next hand, his preflop three-bet taking it down as he showed A♣K♠. With those two pots, he became one of the chip leaders on Day 2.
