Small Bets Succeed for Petakovic
Milos Petakovic started the day as chip leader and is steadily maintaining his position in the upper regions of the leaderboard. In the latest pot he played, Quentin Laugt raised to 40,000 from the cutoff and Petakovic responded with a three-bet to 125,000 from the button. The rest of the table folded and Laugt quickly put in the extra chips.
The flop appeared K♥3♣7♥. Laugt checked to Petakovic who put out a small bet of 45,000. Laugt check-raised it to 125,000 and Petakovic called after giving the situation some thought.
Laugt slowed down on the 7♠ turn and checked again. Petakovic gathered a few chips, totalling 65,000, and put them in the middle. This tiny amount was enough to let Laugt lay his hand down and Petakovic added some more chips to his ever-growing stack.
