Cross Back Raise Gets it Done

Tyler Boyer

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with roughly 6,500 in the pot, and the board showing 10♦A♠8♠.

After the flop Peter Cross in the big blind, and Q Le in middle position checked to Gabriel Bartal in the hijack, who bet out 2,000. Cross made the call, when Q Le raised to 5,500. Bartal elected to fold, before Cross three-bet to 42,000. Le was puzzled by the raise, and after thinking over his decision, chose to muck his hand, and give the pot to Cross.
