Nam Forces a Fold with Check-Raise

Level 14: 2,000 / 4,000 ante: 4,000

Dave Erquiaga opened the action from the button with a raise to 9,000 and was called by Hoang Nam in the big blind.


The flop came J 3 4, and after Erquiaga fired a continuation bet of 22,000, Nam responded with a sharp check-raise to 45,000. The move sent Erquiaga deep into the tank. After burning through two time banks, he ultimately laid his hand down, conceding the pot to Nam.
