Don't Poke the Bear
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Christopher Caruso raised to 13,000 under the gun and the player in middle position three-bet jammed for just over ten big blinds. It folded back around to Caruso, who made the call.
Middle position: 8♠8♥
Christopher Caruso: K♣2♣
Middle position was not happy to see the J♦2♠2♥ flop, where Caruso improved to trips to pull ahead. The 9♣ turn and 3♦ river offered no help to middle position, and he was sent to the rail.
"He poked the bear too many times," said Caruso as he stacked his chips.
