Joseph Comes with the Aggression

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action folded all the way to Johanssy Joseph on the button who put out a raise to 30,000. The small blind flat called and then the big blind put in a cold three-bet to 162,000.

Joseph went into the tank for about two minutes before gathering some chips and putting in the massive four-bet to 476,000. The small blind got out of the way and action was back on the big blind.

They were in the blender. He sat in the tank for almost four minutes and went back and fourth a few times before ultimately finding a fold.

Joseph pulled in the chips and snagged a healthy pot without even needing to see a flop.

Action was opened from the cutoff to 26,000 by current chip leader Daniel Buzgon. Cheng Xu was next to act on the button and called. The big blind completed and they were off to a flop three-ways.

The Q77 flop hit the felt and action quickly checked to Xu on the button who thought for a moment before putting out a bet of 35,000. The big blind folded but after some thought Buzgon called.

The 5 landed on the turn and Buzgon checked again. Xu took his time but after a few moments in the tank he put out a large bet of 120,000.

Buzgon asked for a count, looked over Xu's stack and went into the tank for about a minute. Eventually he thought better of a call and returned his cards to the dealer. Xu dragged this one but Buzgon still holds the chip lead.
