Kraous Flops the Joint, Bartoletti Calls Off on the River
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Anton Kraous led out for 3,000 on a flop of 9♠6♥5♣ and Andres Korn called in the big blind. Ivo Bartoletti then raised to 8,000 in the cutoff, and both opponents called.
Kraous bet another 12,000 on the 4♥ turn, and this time Korn got out of the way. Bartoletti, though, called to see the K♣ river. Kraous then pushed forward a stack of his blue 5,000 chips, enough to put Bartoletti all in.
Bartoletti didn't take long before calling for around 25,000. Kraous then showed 8♥7♥ for a flopped straight, and Bartoletti threw his cards into the muck and got up from the table. Because he was all in, the dealer retrieved his cards and turned over Q♦9♦ before sliding the big pot to the EPT Cyprus finalist.
