Stroulis' Mistake Punished

Maxime Taldir

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Marin Prvan opened to 6,500 from middle position, and he was called by Dylan Lambert on the button. Then in the small blind, Konstantinos Stroulis "wanted to raised to 22,000", but "was confused" so he only raised to 12,000. Nothing to worry his two opponents of course, who called.

On the flop of K?6?3?, Stroulis and Prvan checked to Lambert, who bet 14,000. Stroulis called, and he was the only one to do so. But it was the last action of the hand, as both players checked on the turn 2? and the river 10?.

Smiling, Stroulis didn't want to show his cards at first, but he revealed K?K?. However, Lambert had 5?5? for a flush hit on the river, so he won the pot.
