Criado Wins Battle of the Big Stacks
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Carlo Belli opened to 16,000 from the hijack and Jose Criado three-bet to 43,000 from the cutoff. Belli made the call.
The flop came A♥10♦9♠ and Belli check-called a 30,000 continuation bet from Criado.
Criado fired a second barrel for 85,000 when checked to on the 3♠ turn and this time it was enough to force a fold from his opponent.
