Sgorrano Checks to Induce
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Jerome Sgorrano raised to 25,000 from under the gun, Sebastian Malec three-bet to 80,000 and Sgorrano called.
The flop came 2♠8♣5♥ and Sgorrano checked. Malec continued for 57,000 and Sgorrano called. On the 10♦ turn, Sgorrano checked again and Malec sized up to 165,000. Sgorrano once again made the call.
The river was the 7♣ and Sgorrano checked for a third time. Malec weighed up a bet, using a time bank card before deciding to check back.
It was a wise choice, as Sgorrano tabled 10♠10♣ for a set of tens that he'd been checking to induce bluffs. In any case, Sgorrano still claimed a significant pot.
