Karlic's Hero Call Earns Him a Commanding Lead
Level 40
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Gerald Karlic opened to 2,400,000 on the button and Martin Tsvetanov defended his big blind.
Tsvetanov checked to Karlic, who continued for 1,700,000 on the 7?J?3? flop. Tsvetanov then check-raised to 5,500,000 and Karlic called.
Karlic called a 9,600,000 barrel from Tsvetanov on the 6? turn and then Tsvetanov announced he was all in after the Q? completed the board.
Karlic counted out his remaining 30,600,000 and went deep into the tank as he contemplated his decision. After a few minutes, Karlic slammed in a call and Tsvetanov showed 10?9? for a whiffed straight draw.
Karlic revealed A?J? for a pair of jacks and scooped the massive pot while Tsvetanov was left with just 12,000,000.
