Small Three-Bet, Big Loss

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Mikolaj Zawadzki raised to 3,000 from middle position and the action folded to Jose Gonzalez Zaragoza in the small blind, who made a very small reraise to 5,500.

Zawadzki weighed his options before putting in the call, seeing a J54 flop appear for his payment. Gonzalez Zaragoza checked it to Zawadzki, and the latter put in a bet of 3,500, which Gonzalez Zaragoza called.

The 7 turn then saw Zawadzki up the ante to 14,000 chips after a second check from Gonzalez Zaragoza. Gonzalez Zaragoza once again called before the 10 river completed the board.

Zawadzki completed his triple barrel with a bet of 30,000, leaving on 8,000 chips behind. Gonzalez Zaragoza made one more check-call and mucked his cards once he saw the 55 Zawadzki showed down for a flopped set.
