Two Big Stacks Go At It
Level 24
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
From under the gun, Ali Eslami raised to 39,000. Tim West flatted in position on the button and everyone else folded. The flop came down and it was a battle of the two largest stacks at the table.
First up, Eslami fired a 72,000-chip continuation bet. West took a minute and then raised, making it 180,000 to go. The dealer pulled in the 72,000 from each player and left the 108,000 in front of West as his raise amount. Eslami tanked and then gave it up.
West now looks to be over a million in chips and inched a bit closer to Eslami by taking this pot.
