Karpov Puts Miniucchi to the Test
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Marcello Minucchi bet 9,000 from under the gun and was called by Glib Karpov in the hijack and Zlatin Penev in the big blind.
The flop came 9?6?4? and Miniucchi bet 11,000. He was immediately met by a raise from Karpov to 27,000 which garnered a quick fold from Penev and Miniucchi took a minute before calling.
The J? came on the turn and Karpov bet 38,000 which put Miniucchi deep into the tank. After nearly three minutes the Italian opted to fold and Karpov dragged in a decent pot.
