Karlic Traps With a Full House
Daniel Pidun opened to 1,100,000 with the 7♣3♦ on the button and Gerald Karlic called out of the big blind holding the K♦J♠. The 9♥9♣8♠ flop was checked to the 3♥ turn on which Karlic checked again. Pidun bet 1,200,000 and Karlic called, leading them to the 5♣ on the river.
Both players checked and Pidun won the pot with his trey.
Karlic made it 1,100,000 to go from his next button with the 3♠3♦ and Pidun called with the K♥8♣ to take the lead on A♥A♣K♦. Pidun check-called for 700,000 and the 3♥ turn gave Karlic the two-outer for a full house. Pidun checked again and Karlic checked it back to the 4♥ on the river.
Pidun made it 2,800,000 to go and Karlic gave him a stare down before electing to raise big to 16,000,000. No call followed but Karlic wrestled his way back into the lead.
