Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Chris Bolek raised to 100,000 from the cutoff in the first hand back from dinner, and Mike Linster called in the big blind.

Linster checked the {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop, and Bolek checked back. On the {10-Spades} turn, Linster checked and called a bet worth 175,000 before the {6-Clubs} river completed the board. Linster checked again, and Bolek made it 275,000 to go. After plenty of consideration, Linster folded, and Bolek built his stack further.
