Hakim Check-Raises the River
Level 4
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Joseph Cheong opened the button and recent winner of Event #1: $2,500 Mini Main Event Jeffrey Hakim called in the small blind.
The 6♥3♠2♥ flop checked through to the J♠ turn which saw Hakim lead for 22,000 before Cheong put in a raise to 65,000, and Hakim called.
On the Q♣ river, Hakim checked to Cheong who announced a bet of 80,000. Hakim weighed his options before he cut out a check-raise to 280,000. Cheong thought it over for some time before he decided to fold, conceding a sizeable pot to Hakim without showdown.
