Karlic's Hero Call Earns Him a Commanding Lead
Nivel 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.
