Chris Brewer Can’t Pay 1/17th of the Pot
Three-way to a [Jh8d8c8s] turn, Chris Brewer checked from the big blind, Maria Duarte bet 8,000 from the cutoff, and Veselin Karakitukov called on the button.
Brewer woke up with a check-raise to 40,000, Duarte folded, and Karakitukov called.
The [7s] on the river saw Brewer checked and Karakitukov, who had 24,500 back, opted to bet 6,000.
Brewer started laughing about the pot odds and folded. The players then debated whether Karakitukov could check the nuts to get to see Brewer’s hand, but agreed that he’d have to make at least a minimum bet in order to comply with the tournament rules.
