Connor Richards

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Roman Gadzhiev opened to 800,000 in the hijack and Eduard Norel three-bet to 3,300,000 in the cutoff. Gadzhiev called.

Gadzhiev checked on the flop of 8♠7♠10♣ and Norel checked back. Gadzhiev checked again on the A♣ turn and Norel stabbed for 2,500,000.

Gadzhiev responded with a check-jam worth 9,150,000 and Norel jokingly asked if he could take back his bet and check before folding.

"No ace," said Gadzhiev.

"I know you wanted a call. Why would you check, check-jam?" replied Norel.
