Franken Applies Pressure on Poonhath
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Rajeev Poonhath raised from under the gun and Michael Franken called in the big blind.
On the Q♠5♣4♣ flop, Franken checked and Poonhath bet 20,000 with the words "maybe now you believe me".
What followed was the check-raise to 55,000 by Franken and Poonhath called after checking the stack of his table neighbour on the other side of the dealer. Franken bet the 7♥ turn for 90,000 and Poonhath folded the Q♦J♦ face-up.
Franken first flashed the 4♥ followed by the Q♥ to rake in the pot moments later.
In the next hand, Adam Gamsy min-raised to 16,000 but folded when Jaryd Jardien jammed the button.
