Check-Raise Works for Farah Galfond

Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante

We caught up to Farah Galfond on a flop of with just about 4,000 in the pot. She was in the big blind and she checked over to her opponent. He bet 1,700. Galfond thought about it for a second, then check-raised, making it 5,300 to go. The player thought for a few seconds, then folded his hand.
Galfond scooped the pot, but even after taking that one down, she's still a bit under where she started the day.
