Stack Size Question
Benjamin Jones, a PokerStars player from the UK had three-bet to 2,800 from the big blind and got two callers including Boutros Naim, a qualifier from Lebanon. They saw a flop of which was checked by Jones and the other player. Naim bet 3,100, Jones made the call and they went to the turn heads up. The dealer put out and again Jones made the check and was faced by a bet of 5,100 from Naim. Jones asked to see his opponent’s stack which was about 22,000 and made the check-raise to 13,500. Naim now asked to see Jones’s stack and saw that he hadn’t left himself a whole lot behind. Naim continued to chew his gum and from behind his dark glasses decided to check his hole cards. There was a lot of spades on that board. Naim chewed some more and slid his cards to the dealer.
