Herm Wins Strange Hand
Level 28
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Usually when players are down to 10-12 big blinds they waste no time in getting their stacks into the middle, but not Mark Herm.
Sotirios Koutoupas opened to 125,000 from the small blind and Herm made the call in the big blind. The flop saw both players check, but Koutoupas lead out for 125,000 when the landed on the turn. Herm called and it was off to the river.
Koutoupas checked, Herm bet 310,000 — over half of his remaining stack — and Koutoupas folded.
