Caraba Clobbers Cody

[user66118]

Jake Cody completed from the small blind, and Teodor Caraba tapped the table for a free flop in the big.

The dealer spread out {J-Spades}

, and Cody checked. Caraba stacked out 200,000 and slid it forward, and the call came pretty quickly. Fourth street brought the {8-Diamonds}

and another Cody check, and Caraba wasn't stopping now. He made it 500,000 to go, and Cody obliged him with another call.

Now things get interesting. The river was the {2-Diamonds}

, and Cody checked for the third time, never yet showing any signs of aggression. Caraba pulled out a stack of red chips... then another... then another, and another, and then two more. He eventually had 2.24 million chips gathered in his hands, and he pushed them across the line as one final (and very substantial bet).

The move sent Cody spiraling into the think tank as he considered a decision for about 25% of his remaining stack. He asked how much his opponent had behind (about 4.4 million) before slowly pulling chips from his stack. He lined up the same amount and pump faked with them before leaning back and reconsidering for another minute or so. Finally, he made the call.

Caraba tabled {Q-?}

, and Cody sunk into his chair, head down. He flicked his cards into the muck with one finger, unable to beat that and unhappy about sending more than 3 million chips over to his neighbor in the second largest pot of the tournament.
