Cortes Springs the Check-Raise
Level 13
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Jesus Cortes opened for 35,000 second to act and got two calls. The flop came 
and action checked to Steve O'Dwyer in the cutoff, where a bet of 70,000 hit the felt. Jean-Noel Thorel made it 150,000 in the small blind and Cortes was undeterred by the heavy action as he jammed for about 850,000.
O'Dwyer mucked quickly but Thorel needed lots of time, four extensions worth. He eventually released.
