The Five-Bet Shove
Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Alen Bilic made it 12,000 under the gun and Dan Smith three-bet, dropping in 33,000 from the cutoff with 270,000 behind.
Faraz Jaka sat on the button contemplating for a few seconds before making it four-bets, sliding in 73,000 of his 473,000.
Facing two players with combined career tournament earnings of close to $15 Million in this pot, Bilic, who can lay claim to a little under $100,000, did the only sensible thing: He five-bet shoved his last 250,000.
Both legends laid down.
