MAJ Traps Kalil for a Double
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Gareth Kalil opened to 155,000 from under the gun with the A?Q? and MAJ just called in the big blind with A?A?. The K?Q?3? flop was checked by MAJ and Kalil checked back. On the 9? turn, MAJ set the trap further and checked again. Kalil bet 475,000 and then called the shove by MAJ for 720,000 total within a fraction of a second.
The ultimate deception worked out perfectly for MAJ and he held on for the double with the 7? river.
