Karlic Gets Some Back With a Check-Raise
Level 32
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Daniel Pidun raised to 800,000 with the J♥10♥ and was called by Gerald Karlic with the J♠8♥. They checked the 7♦5♥5♠ flop to the 6♠ turn on which Karlic's bet of 1,500,000 took down the pot uncontested.
Karlic continued his button raising strategy with 900,000 holding the 8♥2♥. Pidun three-bet to 2,600,000 with the A♥2♠ and Karlic tossed his cards into the muck.
Pidun min-raised the next button with 7♦6♠ and Karlic defended off the 5♥4♥. The 10♦3♥3♣ flop didn't provide much excitement when Karlic checked and Pidun bet 600,000. However, Karlic then check-raised to 2,000,000 and Pidun folded.
