Botez Sends Dwek Into the Tank
Level 2
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Jonathan Dwek raised to 9,000 in middle position and Romain Lewis called in the hijack. Alexandra Botez then three-bet to 32,000 on the button and Dwek four-bet to 85,000.
Lewis got out of the way, but Botez put in a five-bet to 200,000 and Dwek called. The flop came 9♦2♦2♥ and Botez continued for 250,000.
Dwek tanked for several minutes as Botez covered her eyes. Dwek eventually let out a loud sigh and mucked his cards while Botez took the pot.
"Breathe. We're playing street poker," tablemate Sorel Mizzi said to her after the hand.
