Krakow Risks a Lot, Gets Rewarded

From the under the gun position Matan Krakow decided to raise to 35,000 getting three-bet by Maeda who was sitting in the small blind. The re-raise was to 75,000 and Krakow made the call.

The flop brought out {Q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and both players checked quickly. On the turn the {6-Spades} appeared and Maeda bet out 80,000. Krakow was really feeling the pressure and took quite some time before he finally made the call.

On the river the {A-Clubs} appeared. Maeda grabbed chips quickly and bet 90,000 getting Krakow to go in the tank for well over a minute. He finally looked like he wanted to fold but shoved the chips across the line anyway. Meada turned over {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} but that was no good against the {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} of Krakow. A huge call from the Israelite gets rewarded and he gets a lot of chips back from Maeda.
