Martinsson Leads the River
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Alf Martinsson raised to 60,000 from under the gun before Nils Pudel made it 180,000 to go from the next seat over. Martinsson took a while to think things over but ended up making the call.
Martinsson then check-called a 110,00 bet from Pudel on 4♠9♥3♦ before the 2♥ turn fell. Martinsson checked again, and Pudel sized up to a bet of 425,000 chips. However, Martinsson was not going anywhere and put in the same amount for a call.
The 6♦ river then fell and Martinsson suddenly led out for 625,000. An instantaneous fold followed from Pudel, awarding Martinsson the big pot.
