Johan Karlsson opened to 10,000 UTG. Right next to him, big stack Audrius Stakelis put in a three-bet to 26,000. When action came back to Karlsson, he made the call.
Karlsson check-called a 15,000 bet from Stakelis on the 6♥6♣5♠ flop, and the dealer revealed the 8♥. Karlsson checked again, and Stakelis now bet 35,000. Karlsson counted his stack and then min-raised to 70,000, leaving himself with roughly 80,000 behind. Stakelis looked visibly confused, and after a minute or two of pondering, he mucked his hand.
“Just for you,” Karlsson told this poker.pro live reporter, as he turned over his Q♠10♠. I gave him the nod of approval, and it’s hard not to think about the big bluff he made when he was heads-up for the €1,100 Main Event title during the 2020 Kings of Tallinn.
