Ibanez Widening the Gap
Level 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Mark Ioli raised the button to 1,300,000 and Johann Ibanez called to see a flop of 8♣7♦10♦.
Both players checked through to a 6♣ turn card which again prompted both players to check through to the 9♣ river.
Ibanez led into Ioli with a bet of 2,500,000. Ioli struggled with his decision for a couple of minutes while looking at a completed straight on the board.
Eventually, Ioli seemed to be calling hoping for a chop but slid his cards toward the muck and conceded the pot to Ibanez which was much delight to his rail.
