Check-Raise Works for Tantillo
Level 8
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
A pot of 14,400 had developed by the turn, on a board of A♠K♣10♠7♠, in a hand between Sebastian Kotowicz in the hijack and Fausto Tantillo in the small blind.
Tantillo checked, and Kotowicz slid out a bet of 9,000. Tantillo responded with a check-raise to 24,000, and Kotowicz went into the tank.
After giving the spot a good two minutes of thought, Kotowicz elected to send his cards to the muck.
