Sarkis Extends His Lead
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Chipleader with Ran Koller, Wael Sarkis utilizes his stack to apply pressure on his opponents. For instance, following an opening betto 30,000 by the player under the gun, he called from the big blind.
On the flop Q♦9♥4♣, he once again called a continuation bet of 30,000. Then, on the turn 8♦, he faced a decision as his opponent fired a second barrel of 90,000. However, thanks to his big stack, he opted to raise to 275,000. There was nothing to do for the under the gun player after that, and he folded.
