The Raising War
When we reached Table 17, Georgios Kapalas, a PokerStars Greek Challenger, had a three-bet of 1,900 sitting in front of him. Russian Nikita Nikolaev, who we assumed opened, put in a four-bet to 5,600. Kapalas responded with a five-bet to 10,900, but Nikolaev wasn't going anywhere - he six-bet to 37,600.
The bet was actually worth 33,000 - the remainder of Kapalas' stack - and he opted to wait for another hand. He folded, and Nikolaev raked in the pot.
