In a hand that was related to us there was an open to 7,000 and Laurent Polito three-bet from the small blind to 15,000. The big blind then moved all in for 45,000 holding what turned out to be 
and the original raiser re-shoved for over 200,000 holding 
. Polito made the call with 
and bust two players in one hand to take the chip lead.
In a hand we just witnessed Polito opened for 7,000 and called a three-bet from a late position player to 15,000. Polito then proceeded to check-call bets down to the river on a final board of 
for a 100,000 pot. His opponent turned over 
and lost out to the 
of Polito.
With a huge tower of chips stacked in front of him it’s hard to give an exact count at the moment but for sure it is approaching 600,000.
