Morten Klein: The Check Raiser

We join the action on the flop with three players in the hand. The board reads [Qd] [Qh] [3d], Philip Jacobson checks out of the small blind, Morten Klein checks out of the big blind, Stanislav Barshak bets 35,000 from the cutoff, Jacobsen calls, Klein check-raises to 81,000, Barshak calls and Jacobsen folds.

Turn: [Ac]

Once again Klein check-raises. It’s 225,000 against a Barshak bet of 110,000. The American folds his hand and Klein takes the pot.

Klein ~ 1,020,000
Barshak ~ 1,220,000
