Schratz Calls Bluff to Take Giant Pot
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Patrick Schratz opened to 20,000 from the small blind. Ender Lacin called in the big blind as the table's chip-leader and it went to a flop.
It came 10?2?8?, which Lacin checked before facing a bet of 20,000 from Schratz's. Lacin then instantly raised to 50,000 and the German called as it went to the turn.
An 8? landed, which Lacin bet out for 40,000 and Schratz called.
The Turk quickly shoved all in on the 5? river. Schratz was covered, but found a call and took the pot down with trip eights - tabling K?8?. Lacin hit top pair on the flop but didn't improve, showing 10?6?.
Schratz won the very next hand, his preflop three-bet taking it down as he showed A?K?. With those two pots, he became one of the chip leaders on Day 2.
