We just caught an exciting pot with Chris Karambinis, where he four-bet all in to take down a sizable pot and nearly double his stack.
The flop read , and Karambinis checked. His opponent bet 4,700 into the 12,000 pot. Karambinis then raised to 10,700, putting some pressure on his opponent who returned fire with a three-bet to 18,700.
Karambinis quickly four-bet with an all-in, later saying that he had a great read on his opponent. His opponent folded, and Karambinis took down a 30,000 pot to bring his stack up to 85,000.
A player in early position raised to 1,700, and a short stack in middle position moved all in. Marco Johnson, who covered the player, shipped it over the top. Everyone else folded.
Johnson:
Middle position:n
Johnson was in a dominating position, and he only solidified it when flopped. Two eights hit the board after that, and Johnson has nearly 50,000 now.
