Gkatzas and Jaatinen Chip Up Without Showdown
Level 27
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Teemu Jaatinen raised to 240,000 and Gerald Karlic defended the big blind to the 10♥4♠4♣ flop. Karlic check-raised from 120,000 to 520,000 and Jaatinen stuck around to the 8♥ turn. Another check by Karlic then saw Saatinen bet 425,000 and Karlic folded.
Jaatinen raised to 240,000 in the next hand, Catalin Pop on the button and short stack Dimitrios Gkatzas in the big blind called. The 8♣7♥2♠ flop was checked to Pop, who bet 225,000. Gkatzas called and Jaatinen sent his cards into the muck.
No betting action came with the Q♠ turn and Gkatzas made it 225,000 to go on the 6♣ river with just 445,000 behind. That was enough to win the pot as Pop also surrendered.
