Carlos made quite a few mini-bets that John couldn't or wouldn't call, and this proved to be an excellent strategy for the Spanish American - because he could pick up a lot of pots while holding very little, or even nothing at all.
After the second hour, John's lead had shrunk to only 86,000 to 74,000 - which was quite surprising because, as I said, not a single big pot had been played.
Because John didn't put enough pressure on his opponent, Carlos was able to come back to 45,000-115,000 at the third break, and he had never been all-in during the entire match.
