Catela Check-Raises To Take Down Pot

Jose Catela, who was in the big blind, was involved in a hand before the flop that saw 17,500 in the pot between the Catela, the player in the cutoff and the player on the button.

The player on the button had raised the action to 5,000, which drew calls from Catela and the player in the cutoff.

The flop saw J♠4♦7♥, which drew checks from Catela and the player in the cutoff. The button bet 5,000, and Catela responded with a check-raise to 14,000. Catela’s aggression resulted in folds from both players.

“Show the bluff,” one of the players said.

Catela then tabled A♥2♥.

"You were ahead," an opponent commented.
