Gago's Four-bet Takes it Down
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jakub Gago opened to 18,000 in early position. He was then raised by Giovanni Boon in the small blind, who made it 55,000. Gago thought for a bit before reraising all in, while covering Boon. The Belgian sat with 95,000 chips left behind, facing a four-bet for his tournament life.
Boon eventually folded, prompting Gago to let out a sigh of relief as the Pole tabled A♣K♥. Boon also looked relieved, and announced "Ace-queen suited." Gago chipped up while Boon was left with well below average stack as the bubble inched ever closer.
