Ballesteros Shoving and a Pot for Pollak

Apr 9, 2013

Alvaro Ballesteros open shoves and gets no callers.

Tahiri Hassani opens on the button before calling a 91,000 three-bet by Benjamin Pollak in the big blind. The flop is [Ac] [Jc] [3d] and a 98,000 Pollak bet scoops the pot.

Alvaro Ballesteros moves all-in from first position and once again everyone folds.

Finally, Antonio Alfaia opens in early position and Ballesteros calls in the big blind. The flop is [As] [Js] [8d] and Ballesteros check-calls a 20,000 Alfaia bet. The turn is the [Qs] and this time Ballesteros check-raise james after Alfaia bet 50,000 and then folds.

Alfaia ~ 410,000
Ballesteros ~ 350,000
