A Four-Bet Pot
Level 19
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
From the hijack position it was Denis Pisarev who opened for 16,000. Spanish player Raul Mestre made it 42,000 to go from the big blind, but that wouldn't scare Pisarev. The Russian player made it 81,000 and Mestre called.
Mestre checked the 
flop to his opponent. Pisarev opted not to make a continuation bet and rather checked behind.
The 
fell on the turn and Mestre bet out a mere 40,000. Pisarev looked at his stack, and made the call. The 
fell on the river and Mestre checked. Pisarev was happy to be able to check behind and did exactly that.
Mestre showed 
for a pair. Pisarev happily opened 
and welcomed a bunch of new chips to his stack.
