Korenev Pulls Off a Double Check-Raise
Roman Korenev just pulled off something you don't often see this deep in a tournament with more than €800,000 for first.
Korenev raised to 20,000 from the hijack and he was three-bet to 42,000 by Sebastian Trisch on his immediate left. Korenev made the call and the flop brought out 
and the Russian pro opted to check.
Trisch bet 53,000 on the flop and Korenev reached for more, putting in a check-raise to 124,000 total. Trisch made the call and on the turn the 
hit and Korenev opted to check once more. Trisch wasn't done betting just yet as he put 94,000 into the middle.
Korenev went into the tank for a bit before sliding out another check-raise, this time worth 214,000. Trisch had to give this some serious thought, but ultimately he made the call creating a pot worth well over 700,000 chips.
The river completed the board with the 
and Korenev moved all in putting Trisch at risk, if he wanted to make the call. Trisch quickly folded and Korenev raked in a huge pot without showdown.
