Ivanov Five-Bets Before the Bubble
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ka Kwan Lau opened to 8,000 from middle position and was called by the button. Then Lyudmil Ivanov three-bet to 38,000 from the small blind. However, next to him, Jorge Postigo decided to four-bet to 68,000 in the big blind.
Lau and the button quickly folded to Ivanov, who raised all-in for 161,000. As the TV crew rushed towards the table to film the action, Postigo went deep into the tank. For more than a minute, he struggled to make a decision. But as the bubble approached, he decided to fold.
