Poroliev Puts on the Pressure
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Ivan Poroliev opened to 80,000 from early position and Jonathan Lawson called from the cutoff.
A K♦4♦4♥ flop saw both players check to the 6♠ turn. Poroliev bet 100,000, which was enough to take the pot as Lawson mucked his hand.
On the same table a few hands later, Poroliev opened to 80,000 from middle position and Briant Alavez called on the button.
A Q♦8♣7♠ flop saw both check to the 6♠ turn and again to the 2♦ river. Poroliev bet 225,000 and Alavez called. Poroliev turned over his K♥Q♠ for a pair of queens, and Alavez mucked.
