Sears Check-Raise Wins Him a Pot
Level 19
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
From the cutoff, Martin Finger opened and both Nikolai Sears (small blind) and Benjamin Pollak (big blind) called.
The first three community cards read and the action checked to Finger. After a brief pause, Finger made it 20,000 to play and it looked like that would be the end of the hand. That was until Sears sprung into life with a check-raise to 48,000. Sears bet was too much for Pollak to call, and Finger folded soon after.
