Jalba Makes the Right Check Back
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
There were around 15,000 chips in the pot on a board of K♥7♥8♦K♠ when Milos Petakovic fired a bet of 10,500, and Eusebiu Jalba called.
When the Q♦ landed on the river, Petakovic checked it over to Jalba, who was undecided on what to do. It took around two minutes before Jalba finally decided to check it back, and was relieved that he did.
Petakovic tabled 7♣7♠ for a flopped set that turned into a full house, and Jalba breathed a sigh of relief that he didn't invest any more chips into the pot on the river.
