Cikinas Bets Big on the River
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Walid Mubarak raised to 120,000 from the button and Matas Cikinas defended the big blind to see a flop of A♠5♥7♥.
Cikinas check-called a bet of what looked to be 80,000 and then both players checked the Q♣ turn.
When the 2♦ completed the board on the river, Cikinas bet 400,000 and Mubarak hit the tank. He used a time extension, got up out of his chair, and tossed in a single chip to signify a call.
Cikinas revealed the Q♦5♠ for two pair and an exasperated Mubarak simply shook his head, showed the A♣, and mucked.
