McKuin's Check-Jam Gets it Done
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Zane Crawford opened the action with a rasie to 800 from middle position, before Muthukumaras Sivasubramaniam three-bet to 3,200 from the hijack. It then folded to Steven McKuin in the big blind who made the call, as did Crawford.
The flop came 8?2?4? and both players checked to Sivasubramaniam who fired out 5,000. McKuin gave it some thought before making the call, and Crawford folded.
After the Q? on the turn, McKuin checked to Sivasubramaniam who bet 10,000, leaving just 8,500 chips behind. McKuin then announced all in for Sivasubramaniam remaining chips, which put Sivasubramaniam was visibly unhappy about. After thinking over decision for nearly a minute, Sivasubramaniam mucked his hand to give the pot to McKuin.
