Tulin Dominates Straver in Preflop Contest
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Johannes Straver raised to 5,000 in the cutoff and the action folded to Nikolai Tulin in the big blind. He eyeballed the stack of his opponent and Straver immediately mentioned he had started the hand with 43,500 in chips. Tulin grabbed into his T-5,000 chips and piled half a tower in for a raise to 50,000; the all-in call by Straver followed.
Johannes Straver:
Nikolai Tulin:
The dominated pair gained some equity with a gutshot on the flop and turn. However, there was no further help on a blank river and that spelled the end for Straver.
