Aerts Piles on the Pressure
Level 8
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Pieter Aerts opened to 8,000 on the button, and only Jamil Wakil called from the big blind.
Upon seeing a continuation-bet of 14,000 on a K♥10♠5♠ flop, Wakil opted to check-call.
Wakil then chose to take over the betting lead on the 10♦ turn, placing a bet of 10,000. Aerts called, and the players went to a river.
The 9♦ completed the board, and saw Wakil slow down, checking to his opponent. Aerts, on the other hand, put his foot back on the accelerator, sliding out a bet of 350,000, enough to cover Wakil's remaining stack.
Wakil took his time, making use of his time extension allowance, and ultimately decided to fold, conceding the pot.
