Karlic Shoves on Petkov

Level 5 : 700/1,400, 1,400 ante

Lachezar Petkov raised to 3,000 from under the gun and was called by Levan Karamanishvili in the lojack. Gerald Karlic three-bet to 10,500 from the hijack and action folded back to Petkov who called, so did Karamanishvili.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, both Plesuv and Karamanishvili checked quickly. Karlic continued with a bet of 18,000 which only Petkov called.

The turn was the {10-Spades}, Petkov checked again and now Karlic shoved. Petkov asked for a count and the dealer confirmed Karlic had 74,100 behind. Petkov dived into the tank long enough to get the clock called on him. The floor came over and gave Petkov 30 seconds to take a decision. On the count of three, Petkov opted to fold.
