Korcak's Stack Gets a Pre-Dinner Boost
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jaroslav Korcak raised from under the gun to 40,000 and Jan Bendik called in the next seat. Valerik Malkhasian also came along from the hijack.
The trio saw a flop of 2♣5♣J♦ where Korcak checked and Bendik bet 60,000. Malkhasian called, as did Korcak to see the 5♥ turn, where all three checked.
A 6♥ fell on the river and Korcak wasted no time in sliding out a bet of 100,000, which got a quick fold out of Bendik. Malkhasian wasn't going anywhere, though, and tossed in a chip to make the call.
Korcak then showed K♥J♥ for a pair of jacks, and Malkhasian mucked.
