Check-Raise Works for Stropoli
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
A pot of around 4,600 had developed by the turn on a board of Q♣8♦5♥3♦, in a hand between Tigran Piloyan on the button and Julien Stropoli in the big blind.
Stropoli checked to Piloyan, who fired out a bet of 2,000. Stropoli took some time to think, before he reached for chips and produced a check-raise to 8,000.
Piloyan went into the tank, seemingly reluctant to end the hand, but he did ultimately fold.
