Banicevic Makes Powalka Fold on the River
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Andrzej Powalka opened to 20,000 from middle position, and was called by Vlado Banicevic on the button and by the big blind.
Powalka continued with a bet of 30,000 on the 9♦5♠3♦ flop. Banicevic made the call, but the big blind folded at this point.
Both players then checked the turn 10♠ to find the 8♦ on the river. After Powalka checked again, Banicevic bet 85,000. It didn't take long for Powalka to fold.
