Preflop Fireworks Without Carnage

Level 33 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Daniel Pidun raised to 1,100,000 with the 65 on the button, and Gerald Karlic three-bet the 72 to 3,500,000, forcing out his opponent.

Karlic opened to the same 1,100,000 with J2 and Pidun called the 75, leading them to the Q32 flop. Pidun checked, Karlic bet 800,000, and that ended the hand right there.

Pidun's next button raise to 1,100,000 came with the 75, and Karlic three-bet the 1010 to 4,000,000 for the action to conclude right there.

Karlic opened to 1,100,000 with the 106 and Pidun returned the three-bet favor, making it 3,700,000 to go with the KJ to shut down the Austrian.
