Montone’s Big River Bet Secures the Pot
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Barak Wisbrod opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 12,000 and drew three callers.
The flop came Q♦9♠8♠, and action checked to Diego Montone on the button, who bet 15,000. Only two players continued to see the 3♥ turn.
Both checked again to Montone, who pushed forward with a bet of 75,000. Wisbrod let it go, but Fahredin Mustafov in the cutoff called.
The 4♦ landed on the river and Mustafov checked once more. Montone ramped up the pressure with a massive 400,000 bet, leaving just 80,000 behind. Mustafov went deep into the tank, burning through three time bank cards, before finally folding and conceding the pot to Montone.
