Ivert's Tank-Bet Backfires

[user75032]

Annica Ivert has played excellent poker throughout this Main Event. Part of excellent poker is taking aggressive chances, and another part is knowing when to surrender. Ivert check-raised Zach Fellows from 11,000 to 36,000 on a flop of {8-Spades}

. Fellows made the call, and then called another 48,000 when the turn fell {Q-Spades}

.

The river was the {A-Diamonds}

. Ivert was first to act and tanked for approximately three minutes before betting 68,000. Then it was Fellows' turn to tank, for another a minute, before raising to 180,000. Ivert quickly folded, preserving a stack of 430,000 chips. Fellows is up to 590,000.
