Rantala Puts Karmazinas in a Sticky Situation
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Eero Rantala min-raised from middle position and got called by Matthew Gillingham on the button & Dominykas Karmazinas in the big blind.
On the 8♥3♣J♦ flop, all three players checked to the 4♦ turn. Karmazinas led out for 35,000, which Rantala called, then Gillingham folded.
When the 6♥ fell on the river, Karmazinas bet 70,000 then Rantala shoved. Karmazinas had around 200,000 chips behind and after using several time-extensions, he elected to preserve them and made the fold.
