Caballo Pena Squeezes and Takes the Pot
Level 3
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Vasileios Tsaknis opened to 700 from the cutoff, and he was called by Patrick Baranyai on the button, and by Massimiliano Zanasi in the small blind.
But Francisco Caballo Pena decided to squeeze to 3,500 from the big blind. Nothing to worry Tsaknis, who called, as well as Zanasi, but Baranyai folded.
On the flop 3?Q?3?, Caballo Pena continued with a bet of 3,500. After a few seconds, Tsaknis called, while Zanasi check-folded.
Caballo Pena and Tsaknis checked the turn 8?. However, when Caballo checked again the river A?, Tsaknis bet 5,500. But Caballo Pena snap-called with A?10? for a top pair, while Tsaknis only had 2?2?.
