Tsai Wins Four-Bet Pot Off Middleton; Camarda Folds Jacks
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Salvatore Camarda had been bleeding chips to drop to a mere ten big blinds and then raised to 14,000 with the J♠J♥ in the hijack. Tom Middleton three-bet to 45,000 in the small blind with Q♦Q♣ and Eric Tsai four-bet to 90,000 with the A♣K♣ in the big blind while eating an apple.
Camarda tank-folded the inferior pair while Middleton called to see a flop of A♠9♦2♣. Middleton checked and then instantly folded when Tsai bet 40,000.
