Battistone Wants It All

Stewart Morrison
Stewart Morrison
Level 29 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Looking down at 7♦5♦, Brian Battistone opened to 10,000 on the button, and called in a typically quick fashion when Biao Ding three-bet to 40,000 with 10♣9♣.

Ding continued for 20,000 on the K♣7♥4♥ flop, and Battistone stuck around to see the 2♠ turn. There was no slowing down from Ding, who continued for 70,000. Once again, an undeterred Battistone called.

The 8♣ completed the board, and Ding waved the white flag, only to see Battistone fire out a bet big enough to put Ding all in. Ding released his cards, and the gap between the two grew bigger.
