Kaufmann Puts On the Pressure Near-Bubble
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Picking up the action on a turn of 3♠Q♦2♦5♥, David Kaufmann checked from the big blind and Andre Marques bet 25,000 into a pot of 30,000 from the button.
Kaufmann made the call and checked on the subsequent 9♣ river. Marques sized up to 80,000 chips, a pot-sized bet. Kaufmann tanked for a minute or so before announcing his all-in, covering the 290,000 chips of Marques, a stack well above the average.
Marques mulled it over for a bit before finding a fold and preserving his stack as the field is 20 players away from reaching the money.
