Lundgren Forces a Fold From Crowley

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Vivian Lundgren opened to 100,000 on the button and was called by Joe Crowley in the big blind.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Crowley check-called a 75,000 bet from Lundgren.

The {4-Clubs} fell on the turn and Crowley check-called again — this time for a 150,000 bet from Lundgren.

The {2-Spades} completed the board and Crowley checked a final time, prompting a 430,000 bet from Lundgren, sending Crowley deep into the tank.

Crowley eventually found a fold and Lundgren dragged the pot.
