Gabriel’s Triple Barrels Put Pressure on Opponent

Herbie Teope

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Thomas Gabriel raised 4,000 in middle position before the flop and was called by the player on the button.

After the blinds folded, the two players went to the flop, which produced 4?4?10?. Gabriel bet 4,000, and his opponent called.

The dealer placed 10? on the turn, and Gabriel continued his out-of-position aggression by leading out with 12,000. His opponent once again called.

The river showed 2? and Gabriel took his time. He then took a slow deliberate motion to count out chips before making a 38,000 bet, which grabbed his opponent’s attention. Gabriel was motionless, as his opponent periodically glanced across the table. And after close to a full minute, Gabriel saw his opponent fold.
