Sladek Heating Up

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Todd Sladek
Todd Sladek

Todd Sladek opened to 4,500 under the gun from the one-seat and action folded around to the big blind, who looked across the dealer from the eight-seat to eye Sladek's stack in a joking manner before looking back at his own to deliberate whether to commit more of his remaining chips or simply let the hand go preflop.

"I won't even look!" said Sladek.

"You already did!" responded the big blind.

"I won't look again!" Sladek said back. "Either way I win here," he added after another 20 seconds of deliberation.

"I know," the big blind said. "I'm just debating what to do."

"Depends on if you're ready to go right now," Sladek retorted. "You can double through someone else and then give it to me," he added.

"I don't think my ace is any good," said the big blind, sending his cards to the center of the table. Sladek picked up his cards to look at them himself and then tossed them to the muck as well, sending {10-Spades} face up as he did.

Sladek has experienced a heater as of the last level, mentioning a key hand in a three-way all-in preflop scenario where his ace-ten hit a ten against {9-}{7-} and {7-}{7-}, with Ryan Phan being one of the two players to lose in the hand. Sladek has 180,000.
