Ollie Garland

Level 17 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The pot had already grown to approximately 80,000 with two players looking at a board of 3♠10♥3♥A♠.

Karim Benrabah, in the small blind, checked the action to Yurii Poienko, in the cutoff. Poienko bet out 31,000 and Benrabah called.

The 3♣ river saw a lengthy tank from Benrabah before he elected to play out of flow, leading for 80,000. Poienko settled on a fold after giving it some thought.
