Laviano's Check Raise Gets Through
Level 15
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Thomas Laviano opened the action with a raise to 12,000 from the cutoff. Alex Kim on the button, and the big blind Joseph Molitor made the call.
The flop came 8?8?5? and Molitor and Laviano checked to Kim, who bet 15,000. Molitor called, before Laviano raised to 55,000. Kim debated his decision before finding a fold, and Molitor quickly folded as well to give the pot to Laviano.
