A Long Tank for Pointer
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
The hand was ongoing when Johan Rascar check-called John Pointer's bet of 40,000 on a flop of J♥K♥6♥ with 100,000 chips already in the pot.
The turn dropped A♦ and the same thing happened when Pointer kept the pressure with a 150,000 bet. After another check, Pointer fired another 300,000 on the 2♦ river, just to receive a raise from Rascar to 750,000 sending him to the tank.
He took a long time to consider his options, allowing the other players on the table to stretch their legs and listen to Martin Kabrhel's monologue on the other table.
Finally he folded his hand. Pointer looked satisfied and relieved after Rascar showed A♥ before scooping the pot.
