Karakitukov Takes From Guerra

Brett Slezak

Level 21 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Lautaro Guerra limped the cutoff and Veselin Karakitukov checked his option in the big blind.

On the 10♥5♦3♠ flop, Karakitukov check-called a bet of 350,000 from Guerra.

The 10♦ turn checked through to the 9♦ river which saw Karakitukov lead for 700,000 and Guerra quickly called. Karakitukov tabled Q♦10♠8♥4♦ for turned trips and a rivered flush which was good to drag the pot.

Jason Koon opened the cutoff to 600,000 and Veselin Karakitukov called on the button.

On the A♥6♦5♦ flop, Koon continued for 550,000 and Karakitukov put in the call.

The turn brought the 9♠. Koon fired a second barrel for 1,100,000 before Karakitukov potted to 5,500,000. Koon would burn through two time banks before he opted to let it go, conceding a sizeable pot to Karakitukov without showdown.
