Bak Cooks Up Something Different
Level 27
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Andrew Bak raised to 250,000 from middle position, Vangelis Kaimakamis called in the cutoff and Nitin Jain called from the small blind. The flop was 
and both Jain and Bak checked to Kaimakamis who bet 365,000.
Jain check-raised to 850,000 but Bak, the preflop raiser, had cooked up a different plan. He cut out a flop three-bet to 2,000,000 straight, getting rid of Kaimakamis. Jain gave it quite some thought before committing the extra chips.
The turn brought another 
and Jain checked. Bak bet 2,200,000 and Jain, visibly unpleased, folded after several minutes of thought.
