Pollak Applies Maximum Pressure
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Benjamin Pollak raised to 25,000 on the button, and Lucas Blanco called in the big blind.
The action checked through on the 10♣4♠8♣ flop, prompting Blanco to lead out with a bet of 50,000 on the 3♥ turn. Pollak called.
The 4♥ completed the board, and Blanco slid out a stack worth 95,000. After a moment's thought, Pollak moved all in for 415,000 covering Blanco's remaining 195,000.
A pained-looking Blanco used two time extensions before opting to fold.
