Samsa Raises Twice
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Mehmet Samsa three-bet to 30,000 in the cutoff and an opponent in early position called.
The flop came 6♥4♦2♠ and the early-position player led out for 7,000. Samsa then raised to 45,000 and his opponent tanked for a minute before calling.
The turn was the 10♣ and the early-position player led out again, this time for 8,000. Samsa again raised, making it 93,000 and sending his opponent once more into the tank.
The clock was eventually called and the early-position player nearly allowed the countdown to run out before mucking his cards.
