Two Quick Hands

Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Veselin Karakitukov raised to 2,800 in middle position, and Joao Simao called in the big blind.

Both players checked on the 410K flop, and when Simao checked for a second time on the J turn, a delayed continuation bet from Karakitukov was enough to take it down.

The very next shuffle, Youness Barakat raised to 2,800 from under the gun, which both Pedro Bromfman and Steven Sarmiento called in the hijack and cutoff.

Barakat continued with a bet of 7,000 on the 5KA flop, and both Brofman and Sarmiento folded.
