Roy Finlay Pounds The Pressure On Maeda

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Roy Finlay raised to 50,000 from the small blind and Azusa Maeda three-bet to 150,000. Action back to Roy Finlay and he made it very easy on himself by moving all-in. The bet was 408,000 more and Maeda went into the tank.

Finlay was on his feet, while his wife peeked through the glass door, as she pushed his child in their pram.

"Call! Let's get this over with," said Finlay.

Maeda peeked at his cards.

"Don't call with that!" Joked Finlay.

In the end Maeda folded and the players headed for the break.

On a flop of {J-Hearts} {9-Spades} {5-Diamonds} Azusa Maeda checked to Guillaume Humbert who bet 25,000. Action back to the man from Japan and he check-raised to 55,000 (a move he regularly makes). Humbert made the call and the dealer gave us the {4-Diamonds} on the turn. Maeda bet 55,000 and Humbert called. The river was the {2-Clubs} and both players both checked.
