Tiny Bets Get Abreu Paid
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Three-way to the 7♦A♠10♠ flop, Jorge Abreu checked from the small blind to Thierry Gogniat under the gun, who bet 55,000. Zdenek Zizka then raised to 150,000 in the cutoff, which Abreu three-bet to 300,000.
Gogniat had seen enough and folded, but Zizka wanted to see a turn and called for the 9♠ to emerge from the deck.
After using a time extension, Abreu flicked in a relatively tiny bet of 100,000. Zizka called to the Q♦ river, where Abreu again bet 100,000.
Zizka deemed the price too good and called to showdown. Abreu tabled 8♠6♠ for a flush, and Zizka complimented his opponent's hand as he tossed his cards into the muck.
