Gaona Min-Bets the River
Level 21
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Tamazi Skhirtladze opened from under the gun and Jose Gaona called from the big blind.
Gaona checked the 3♥K♦A♠ flop and called a bet of 80,000 from Skhirtladze to see the 2♠ hit the turn. Again Gaona checked, and again he called a bet when Skhirtladze bet 165,000.
When the 6♠ landed on the river, Gaona switched up his strategy and bet the minimum - 50,000. Skhirtladze went into the tank for a while, but ultimately decided to fold with around 500,000 behind.
