Van der Beek’s Aggression Forces a Fold from Pichierri
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Luc van der Beek kicked off the action with a button-raise to 3,000, and only Alessandro Pichierri in the big blind decided to defend.
The flop came K♥J♠3♥, and Pichierri checked. Van der Beek followed up with a continuation bet of 2,500, which Pichierri called.
On the 10♦ turn, Pichierri checked again, and Van der Beek ramped up the pressure with a bet of 9,000. After some consideration, Pichierri made the call, keeping the pot alive.
The river brought the 6♦, and Pichierri checked for a third time. Van der Beek responded with a sizable bet of 26,000, sending Pichierri deep into the tank. After a long pause and a second glance at his cards, Pichierri decided to fold, awarding the pot to Van der Beek.
