Schwartz Applies Pressure to Kruse on the River
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Max Kruse opened to 200,000 under the gun and Pedro Madeira called from the cutoff. Brandon Schwartz came along from the button, and Mostafa Haidary also tagged along from the big blind.
On the connected Q♦9♠K♦ flop, it checked to Kruse who fired a bet of 180,000. Schwartz and Haidary both called.
A J♠ hit the turn and after Haidary checked, Kruse bet 460,000. Schwartz called and Haidary folded.
When the 10♦ completed the board, Kruse checked and Schwartz made a bet of 1,100,000. Kruse didn't look what he saw and flashed the 10♣ before he made what seemed to be an agonizing fold.
