Guzla Wins Preflop Game of Chicken as Cotturi Folds Big Slick

Mark Attard opened to 1,300 from under the gun, and received a call from Vincenzo Cotturri in middle position. Karol Guzla was beside Cotturri, and he produced a three-bet to 4,000.

Davide Iannaco cold-called from the button, and Attard also called, before Cotturri threw a spanner in the works by producing a four-bet to 16,300.

Guzla took a bit of time to think it over, before he five-bet jammed for around 45,000.

Iannaco and Attard quickly folded, and action moved back to Cotturri. He groaned and looked in a world of pain, proceeding to spend the next three minutes in the tank, shaking his head, hand over his mouth, and looking at his remaining stack of 32,000, seemingly unable to make a decision.

Eventually, to the table's surprise, he open-folded A♠K♣, and looked to Guzla for some kind of indication as to whether it was a good or bad fold.

Guzla simply shrugged and raked in a heap of dead money.
