Fish's Blind Defense Gets Aggressive

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

There were chips all over one half of the table as a result of a raising battle that ended with Darryll Fish deciding if he would call an all-in bet from his opponent.

Fish was in the small blind and his last raise was still in front of him, coming to 10,400 chips. The all-in bet had come from the player on the button and Fish was in the tank. Eventually, he gave up his cards and the big pot.

The river came down {k-Diamonds} and the other player kept firing. He bet 8,000 this time and Kurganov only thought for a quick moment before pushing all in. His opponent quickly folded.
