Hrabec's Check-Raise Pays off
Level 22
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
The pot was around 250,000, and the board showed 4♣7♥7♦J♣. In a battle of the blinds, Roman Hrabec checked to Evan Krentzman, who bet 150,000, which Hrabec called.
On the 8♦ river, Hrabec checked once more, and Krentzman made it 425,000. Hrabec went into the tank before he raised to 1,200,000, prompting a snap-call from Krentzman, leading to a showdown.
Hrabec tabled 8♥7♠6♦6♣ for a full house sevens-full-of-eights, which caused Krentzman to snap his fingers, which seemed to show that Hrabec was slightly better as Krentzman's cards found the muck.
