Gólya Going Up

Two players had made it as far as the turn when I arrived, of whom László Gólya (big blind position) checked and José Vieira (under the gun plus one) had bet 1,700. Back to Gólya, who now check-raised to 3,500, and then back again to Vieira who tanked up briefly before making the call.

The river was the :::Ad and this time Gólya bet out 5,000. Vieira sighed and thought about it for perhaps 30 seconds before tossing in the call, without much conviction. Duly, he waited for Gólya to turn over :::As :::Js for the winning hand before tossing his own into the muck.

Gólya is up to over 35,000 while Vieira is down to just 9,000.
