Ilani's Five-Bet Gets Through
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Eusebiu Jalba opened from early position to 16,000 and Ibrahim Ghasan called out of the small blind. Ran Ilani was in the big blind and squeezed it up to 92,000, which sent Jalba into the tank. After some time, Jalba announced a min four-bet and made it 168,000. Ghasan didn't immediately fold and took some time before he eventually passed.
With the action back on Ilani, he announced a five-bet to 475,000 and slid forward the chips, and Jalba quickly got out of the way.
