Jattin Gets Mavritsakis to Fold the Superior Hand
Tom Middleton kickstarted the action from under the gun with a wager of 60,000, holding the K?8?. Panagiotis Mavritsakis called in the hijack with the A?J? and so did Farid Jattin in the cutoff with 6?6?.
The J?5?4? flop was all Mavritsakis, who bet 90,000 when checked to. Jattin played one time bank and raised to 240,000 for Middleton to get out of the way. Mavritsakis, hiding some of his face behind a scarf, stared at his table neighbour and reluctantly called.
Jattin picked up equity with the 3? turn and Mavritsakis checked to him. The Colombian checked it back to the 9? river and Mavritsakis now opted for a bet worth 385,000 for nearly half of his stack.
Jattin took his time before moving all in with the covering stack and sent his table neighbor into a world of pain. Mavritsakis used his last two time bank extensions and studied the body language of Jattin before sigh-folding.
