Garles Won't be Bullied

Anthony Thompson

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

Action folded to the cutoff player who raised to 1,500 and Tim Garles defended his big blind to see a flop.

Garles check-raised to 3,000 after his opponent continued for 1,300 and was faced with a 7,500 three-bet.

After some careful thought, Garles tossed out a 28,000 four-bet which was enough to put his opponent all in and they quickly mucked their hand.

Garles rolled over and raked in the pot.

Anthony Thompson

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

Both of Broberg's opponents called and action went three-ways to the flop. Broberg continued for 6,400 and only the hijack called to see the pair the board on the turn.
