Rami Hammoud, a local player, raised the 300 big blind to 800. He was called once before Gerald Karlic 3-bet to 4,000. Rami shoved his 30,600 stack in the middle, putting him to the test. The caller quickly got out of the way, and Karlic thought for about 30 seconds. He finally decided that Hammoud’s range was behind, and made the call.
