The Rich Get Richer Without Showdown
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
In a three-bet pot with some 15,000 in the middle, Mats Karlsson checked over to Jussi Heikela on the button with the flop showing 
. The Finn bet 10,000 and Karlsson studied the stack size of his opponent carefully.
"That's how much more?" he inquired and once Heikela mentioned another 60k ehind, Karlsson min-raised to 20,000. Only a few seconds later, Heikela shook his head and folded.
Over on table eight, Jon Persent bet the 
flop for 8,000 and David Szabo called in the hijack. The 
turn was checked and Persent bet the 
river for 12,000. Szabo let go and the next big stack added chips. Shortly thereafter, the table broke after the elimination of Jannik Bengtsen.
