Hand #90: Four-Bet from Koroknai

Level 36 : 250,000/500,000, 50,000 ante

Jeremy Ausmus had the button. Andras Koroknai opened to 1.1 million from under the gun, Greg Merson three-bet to 3.4 million from the small blind, and Jesse Sylvia cold-called out of the big blind. Koroknai tanked for nearly two minutes, then put in a four-bet.

Merson and Sylvia both folded, and Koroknai took down the pot.
