Tomic Coolers an Opponent to Build a Big Stack
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
A player in middle position bet 11,000 on a flop of K♥6♦4♣ and Ivan Tomic called in the small blind. The big blind then raised to 40,000 and the middle-position player called, while Tomic then reraised to 166,000. The big blind called for his last 80,000, and the middle-position player got out of the way.
All-In Player: K♠4♦
Ivan Tomic: 6♣6♠
The at-risk player had flopped two pair, but Tomic turned over a set. The rest of the board ran out 2♥3♣, and Tomic took the pot to send his opponent to the rail and increase his stack up past 600,000.
