Bianchi Gets Thin Value on River
Level 26
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Hamid Izadi opened to 120,000 on the button, and Paul Bianchi opted to three-bet to 280,000 in the big blind. Izadi called.
The dealer spread 
on the flop, and Bianchi continued with a downbet of 240,000. Izadi called again.
The 
hit the felt on the turn, and Bianchi fired 440,000. The two were off to a river after Izadi matched it.
With the 
river on the board, Bianchi bet yet again, this time for 750,000. Izadi tank-called, after which Bianchi showed 
for a flopped top pair that bravely kept firing on an unideal runout. Izadi mucked, and Bianchi pulled in the pot, closing in on five million chips.
