Skoulos' River Bet Gets the Job Done
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Iisakki Ullakonoja raised to 1,100 from middle position. Alexi Skoulos called in the cutoff and Dennis Weiss defended out of the big blind.
The action checked to Skoulos on the K♣2♣Q♥ flop and he bet 1,300. Weiss then check-raised to 5,500, Ullakonoja folded, and Skoulos called.
Both players checked the A♥ turn for the Q♣ to come on the river. Weiss checked again and faced a bet of 7,000 from Skoulos. Weiss thought it over briefly before folding and Skoulos pulled in the pot.
