Themistokleous Puts Sandoff to the Test
Level 3
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Nikolay Fal raised from early position to 1,800 before Themistoklis Themistokleous three-bet to 5,500 from the cutoff. Karl Sandoff four-bet the big blind to 14,000, which got a fold from Fal but a call from Themistokleous.
Both players checked the J?Q?9? flop to see the 2? fall on the turn. Sandoff led out with a delayed continuation-bet of 25,000. Themistokleous made the call.
Sandoff slowed down and checked the K? river, causing Themistokleous to bet 50,000. The bet was for the remainder of Sandoff's stack, and after a bit of tanking, Sandoff tossed his cards into the muck.
