Vela Applies Maximum Pressure
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
The pot stood at approximately 400,000 with two players looking at a flop of K♣A♠K♥.
Farzad Bonyadi, in the big blind, bet out 85,000 and Michael Vela called, from the button.
The 9♣ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Bonyadi sized up to 300,000.
The K♦ river slowed down Bonyadi who checked. Vela, almost instantly, moved all in for Bonyadi's effective stack of approximately 550,000. Bonyadi snap-folded.
