Tabacaru Thwarts Madhariwar's Momentum

The active Krishna Madhariwar opened to 3,500 from early position and called when Ion Tabacaru three-bet to 11,000 on his direct left.

The K♥K♦7♠ flop checked through to the 6♣ turn. Madhariwar check-raised to 25,000 after Tabacaru bet 5,000. The latter called.

Madhariwar considered his options on the 9♥ river for around a minute and opted to bet 50,000. Tabacaru went deep into the tank for a few minutes.

"Sorry, guys," he said. "You show if I fold," he asked his opponent but failed to get an answer.

He ended up putting in the call, and Madhariwar instantly mucked.

Tabacaru tabled his A♥4♥ to show he had made the hero call.
