Sun Puts Pressure on Pilhofer

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With around 90,000 chips already in the middle on a 844J board, Jianfeng Sun fired out 60,000 from the small blind, which Istvan Pilhofer called from the cutoff.

The two saw a 7 drop in the river and after thinking it over, Sun counted out a chunky bet of 200,000 and threw it across the line. Pilhofer went into the tank and after counting out his stack, saw that he had around 220,000 remaining. A few more moments passed and Pilhofer made the fold, and Sun boosted his stack to 750,000.

On another table, Jinlong Hu has just been sent to the rail.
