Astarita Put in the Blender
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Giulio Astarita three-bet to 2,200 from the small blind over an open and then Angelos Valilis four-bet to 6,500 from the big blind. The original raiser folded while Astarita stuck around.
Astarita check-called for 6,500 on the K♣Q♣5♥ flop, bringing in the 5♣ turn. Astarita then led out for 8,500 but was quickly sent into the tank after Valilis jammed for 21,400.
Astarita tried talking to Valilis to get some information, but the latter remained stoic during the brief interrogation.
"There's only one single hand I'm afraid of," said Astarita as he continued to think over his options.
"Fold," he audibly declared and Valilis quickly mucked his hand before taking in the pot.
