Zobian Applies Maximum Pressure to Defending Champion Reard
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
On a flop of A♥K♠2♠, the action had checked to Alexandre Reard on the button, who bet 80,000. Aram Zobian called from the small blind, and Rodrigo Daher folded sitting in the big blind.
When the J♦ landed on the turn, Zobian checked, Reard bet 315,000, Zobian then check-raised to 950,000, and Reard called.
An 8♣ hit the river and Zobian took a while before shoving all in. Reard had around 1,700,000 chips behind and needed to put them all into the pot if he wanted to continue in the hand. After a few minutes, Reard laid it down.
