Baron Flexes Muscle

We caught the action on the turn with the board reading {K-Spades}{4-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. The pot was heads up and the play had been checked to Isaac Baron who fired 16,300 into the middle. His opponent made the call and the {A-Clubs} peeled off on the river.

This time Baron's opponent decided to lead at the pot and fired out 36,300. Baron thought for a moment before making it 120,000 to go, putting max pressure on his opponent as we approach the money bubble. His opponent tanked for a long time before letting it go as Baron collects the pot to move up to 326,000.
