Mavritsakis Raises Reixach on the River

David Salituro

Level 16 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

With around 50,000 in the pot blind versus blind and the board showing A♣4♣J♦2♣, Sergi Reixach led out for 33,000 and Panagiotis Mavritsakis called.

The river was the A♠ and Reixach used up nearly his entire shot clock before betting 60,000. Mavritsakis then raised to 300,000 and Reixach snap-folded.
