Frank Pressures Sarle

Matt Hansen

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Action was heads up with what looked like over 700,000 in the middle and 8♠Q♦K♦A♠ on the board.

Chris Frank check-called a bet of 640,000 from Dominick Sarle and the turn was J♠.

Frank changed gears and fired 1,400,000, which sent Sarle into the tank. He spread out his time banks and used several before he finally gave up the pot.

Martin Zamani, who was sweating from the other table, encouraged Frank to show a bluff. Frank declined and mucked the winning hand.

Meanwhile, the tournament is playing hand-for-hand on the brink of the final table.
