Robinson Puts Max Pressure on Stankov
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs raised to 400,000 from under the gun, Ivan Stankov called in middle position, and Colin Robinson called from the big blind. The flop was 10?9?7? and Robinson and Zavorotnijs checked. Stankov bet 400,000, Robinson called, and Zavorotnijs folded.
The Q? on the turn brought the fireworks. Robinson checked, Stankov bet 1,400,000, and Robinson responded with a big check-raise all in. It was effectively for Stankov's remaining stack of nearly 6,000,000.
The usually very stoic Stankov seemed taken aback by the shove, and his expressionless face changed. He agonized over his decision for the better part of five minutes but ultimately decided to go with the fold.
