Ruzicka's Squeeze Attempt Fails
Level 4
: 100/300, 300 ante
Ludvig Sterner opened to 800 from under the gun and was called by three players before the action was on Vojtech Ruzicka on the button. Ruzicka three-bet to 4,600 which got both of the blinds to quickly fold.
Sterner had other plans as he four-bet to 10,600. That forced the three callers of his initial raise to get out of the way and Ruzicka took a moment to think. After a minute, Ruzicka let his hand go and Sterner scooped the pot.
