Nice Pickup for Hatzakortzian Without a Showdown

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Edward Hatzakortzian limped from the hijack, Leonid Yanovski limped from the cutoff, and Cary Aronson called in the small blind. Wai Ngai exercised his option in the big blind and raised to 1,000 and everyone called for a bloated four-way pot.

Nobody bet on the 210K flop and then it was checked to Hatzakortzian, who bet 3,000 on the 7 turn. Only Aronson called.

The K completed the board and Aronson check-folded facing a 6,000 bet from Hatzakortzian, who was sent the pot.
