Schmidt Puts His Foot Down
Level 19
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Felipe Ketzer raised to 100,000 from middle position, Fabian Schmidt called on his direct left, and Boris Kolev came along from the big blind.
The flop came 5♠6♠3♣, and Ketzer fired out a bet of 80,000. Schmidt called, while Kolev got out of the way.
Both players checked the 3♠ turn before the 5♥ completed the board on the river. Ketzer bet 110,000, but Schmidt had other ideas and raised to 600,000.
The raise appeared to catch Ketzer by surprise, and after using one time bank, he announced, "Pass," before sending his cards into the muck.
