Espinosa Checks Out of Turn and Into a Hard Spot
Level 31
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
The pot stood at approximately 330,000 with two players looking at a flop of J♥2♥7♦.
Benjamin Hammann, in the big blind, checked the action to Antonio Espinosa, in the hijack. Espinosa bet out 200,000 and Hammann check-raised to 575,000. Espinosa called.
The 6♦ turn saw Hammann going into a lengthy tank. Espinosa thought the action was on him and elected to 'check back'. Upon being informed the action wasn't on him, Hammann chose to bet out for 800,000. Espinosa went deep into the tank, pained by his decision, finally choosing to release his holding.
