Ishibashi Turns Up the Heat, Forces a Fold from Speak
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Dai Ishibashi opened from the cutoff and was met with a three-bet to 53,000 from Ryan Speak on the button. With action back on him, Ishibashi didn’t shy away, he responded with a four-bet to 185,000.
After a brief pause, Speak made the call, and the two saw a flop of 6♣J♠J♣.
Ishibashi kept the pressure on with a bet of 80,000, and Speak came along with a call.
When the 4♦ hit the turn, Ishibashi reached for chips again and fired 130,000. That final barrel proved too much for Speak, who gave up his hand, sending the pot to Ishibashi.
