Gerges Folds Out Robertson

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Kyrillos Gerges
Kyrillos Gerges

Peter Robertson raised two hands to 6,500 in a row to take the blinds and antes, flashing the table {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} the second time he did so. However, Robertson received some pushback the third time he raised to 6,500 following a small blind complete from Kyrillos Gerges.

Both players checked the {10-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop, with Gerges checking for a second time on the {a-Hearts} turn. Robertson reached for chips and made it 5,500 to go only to see Gerges check-raise to 16,000 in total.

Robertson mulled it over but made the call to keep the two players in action to the {7-Hearts} river. Gerges continued to sell the story of a hand by betting 25,000, which sent Robertson into the tank for a minute or so before he gave it up and mucked, leaving Gerges free to rake in the pot.
