Pollak Drops a Bunch to Celestino

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Ariel Celestino raised under the gun to 65,000 and Benjamin Pollak three-bet from the big blind to 175,000. Celestino tanked for a bit before calling, and the flop brought out {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.

Pollak bet 115,000 on the flop and Celestino made the call.

On the {8-Diamonds} turn Pollak went into the tank for a long time before checking, and Celestino paused before betting 248,000. The French pro went into the tank again for quite some time, before eventually kicking his hand into the muck.
