Michalak Fires Twice, Forces a Fold
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Jakub Michalak got things started with a raise to 2,500 from middle position holding K♠7♠, and found one customer in Joseph Baghdalian, who called from the cutoff with A♣Q♦.
The 5♥4♠9♥ flop saw Michalak keep up the pressure with a 2,600 continuation bet, which Baghdalian called.
But when the J♠ hit the turn, Michalak ramped it up to 8,500, and that second barrel was enough to push Baghdalian off his hand.
