De Souza Shoves on Bakovic

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

David Ballestero opened to 800 in early position before Alen Bakovic min-clicked it to 1,200 from middle position. Lucas Salles Arouck De Souza flatted in the cutoff, and Ballestero came along.

On the 653 flop, it checked to Bakovic who continued for 1,300 before De Souza raised to 4,500. Ballestero got out of the way but Bakovic ended up putting in the call.

The turn brought the J as Bakovic checked again to De Souza who bet 8,500, and Bakovic called once more.

Bakovic checked a final time on the 9 river and De Souza took some time before he announced all-in for his remaining 25,500. The covering stack of Bakovic opted to fold after some deliberation, and De Souza collected the pot without showdown, albeit over six minutes after the hand was dealt.
