Vallone Pressures Mawick as Big Stacks Collide
Level 30
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Aurelio Vallone and Carsten Mawick had both put in 2,500,000 preflop, Vallone on the button and Mawick in the big blind.
On the 8♣5♥2♣ flop, Mawick led out with a bet of 1,500,000, and was met with a raise to 3,300,000 from Vallone.
Mawick thought it through, and said "This might be ICM suicide", before raising to 9,000,000.
It might well have been, as Vallone stuck it right back in his face with an all-in jam, covering Mawick. "Shit", said Mawick.
These players were miles ahead of Scala and Lando, and Mawick eventually elected to fold, to send Vallone a huge pot.
