Babana Goes For it on the River

Tim Baker

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Vladas Tamasauskas raised to 60,000 from the button, and Banipal Babana defended from the big blind.

Babana check-called Tamasauskas' continuation-bet of 40,000 on the K♥K♦10♣ flop.

Both players checked the 7♠ turn before the Q♦ completed the board. Babana led out for 175,000, and after mulling it over, Tamasauskas raised to 600,000.

Babana took inventory of his remaining stack, which totaled around 700,000, and after another moment's thought, jammed, putting the decision back on Tamasauskas.

Tamasauskas asked for an exact count, glanced across at Babana a couple of times, and continued to deliberate before eventually folding.

With a smile, Babana flashed his holding to the PokerNews live reporting team before returning the cards face down to the dealer.
