Check-Raise Gets it Done for Russell

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Alex Russell

The pot had grown to 26,500 on a board that read 2♣4♠5♣ when this hand was picked up.

Alex Russell checked from under the gun before the hijack opted to bet 6,000. The cutoff called, but Russell decided on a different path forward as he chose to check-raise all-in for 43,000.

The hijack gave it a brief consideration before he folded. The cutoff was in the tank for a minute before he also folded, awarding the pot to Russell without any further action.
