Bayout Forces Ahuja to Fold
Nível 21
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
With about 66,000 already in the pot and the flop reading 3♦K♥7♥, Axel Bayout checked from early position, letting Ankit Ahuja take the lead with a bet of 35,000. Bayout wasn't backing down, though, and responded with a raise to 80,000. After some thought, Ahuja called.
The 5♣ appeared on the turn, and this time Bayout fired off a bet of 90,000, which Ahuja called.
When the 4♣ hit the river, Bayout made a bold move, shoving nearly his entire stack—316,000—into the middle, keeping just 35,000 behind. Ahuja went deep into the tank, weighing his options for a while, but eventually decided to let it go. Bayout raked in the hefty pot, further extending his stack and keeping his tournament hopes alive.
