Alba Piles on the Pressure
Level 6
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Marko Luksa kicked the action off with a raise to 2,000 from under the gun. Only Pablo Alba made the call, defending his big blind.
Alba check-called a bet of 1,500 on the 5♣J♣4♦ flop, before check-calling again on the 2♥ turn, this time for 6,000.
When the dealer added the 6♥ river to the board, Alba switched gears, taking over the betting lead and putting his opponent all in.
Luksa had 16,500 remaining in his stack and a decision to make. After a few moments, he chose to wait for a better spot and returned his cards to the dealer.
