Laviano's Check Raise Gets Through
Level 15
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Thomas Laviano opened the action with a raise to 12,000 from the cutoff. Alex Kim on the button, and the big blind Joseph Molitor made the call.
The flop came 8♥8♦5♦ and Molitor and Laviano checked to Kim, who bet 15,000. Molitor called, before Laviano raised to 55,000. Kim debated his decision before finding a fold, and Molitor quickly folded as well to give the pot to Laviano.
