Roche Puts Csik to the Test
Level 22
: Blinds 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Action folded to Kevin Roche in the hijack, and he raised to 55,000. Then once it folded to Christopher Csik on the button, he three-bet to 150,000. After the blinds folded, Roche made the call to see a flop.
Roche called a bet of 170,000 from Csik after the J♦5♦K♣ flop.
Both players checked after the A♠ hit on the turn.
The river brought the 9♦ and Roche bet out 325,000. Csik sat in the tank debating his decision, and he eventually made the call for majority of his stack.
Roche turned over 6♥5♥ for a pair of fives, and Csik had the winner when he tabled A♣7♣ for a pair of aces to take the sizable pot.
