Neugebauer Applies Pressure, Pardy Bows Out

Sava Krink

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With the board showing 4♣Q♦3♦K♥Q♣ and around 280,000 in the pot, Max Neugebauer and Ivan Poroliev were locked in a heads-up battle. Neugebauer led out for 75,000 as the first to act, putting the pressure on Poroliev, who took his time to consider the spot.

After a long tank, Poroliev eventually released his hand, conceding the pot to Neugebauer, who quietly added a healthy boost to his stack.

Just a few hands later, Jonathan Pardy hit the rail from the same table.
