Ollie Garland

Level 6 : Blinds 300/700, 700 ante

Christian Ly raised to 1,600 from under the gun, finding Thomas Papazoglou, in the big blind, who defended.

Papazoglou check-called a bet of 1,500 from Ly on a flop of Q♠4♠3♦.

The 5♦ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Ly sized up to 6,500.

The 8♠ river saw Papazoglou check again. Ly bet out 45,000, more than enough to put Papazoglou all in for his last 18,500. Papazoglou tanked for some time before eventually electing to fold.
