Stoika Benefits from Checkmark Changing Turn & River
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Mehdi Rebai opened to 700 from middle position before Roman Stoika made it 2,500 from the next seat over. The button cold-called before the blinds folded. Rebai four-bet to 7,500 and only Stoika called.
Rebai continued for 2,000 on the J♦5♦5♣ flop. Stoika raised to 9,000 and called as the bigger stack when Rebai jammed for around 47,000.
Mehdi Rebai: A♦Q♦
Roman Stoika: 7♥5♥
Stoika was ahead with trips, but Rebai took the lead on the 4♦ turn. However, the 4♠ river double-paired the board, giving Stoika the checkmark for the pot.
