Themistokleous Puts Sandoff to the Test
Level 3
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Nikolay Fal raised from early position to 1,800 before Themistoklis Themistokleous three-bet to 5,500 from the cutoff. Karl Sandoff four-bet the big blind to 14,000, which got a fold from Fal but a call from Themistokleous.
Both players checked the J♥Q♣9♠ flop to see the 2♠ fall on the turn. Sandoff led out with a delayed continuation-bet of 25,000. Themistokleous made the call.
Sandoff slowed down and checked the K♣ river, causing Themistokleous to bet 50,000. The bet was for the remainder of Sandoff's stack, and after a bit of tanking, Sandoff tossed his cards into the muck.
