Balilti Hangs In Despite Facing Aggression

Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Daniel Balilti opened the button and got called in one spot by the small blind.
The 5?6?J? flop checked through to a Q? turn putting two flush draws on board. It checked over to Balilti again who opted to go for a bet of 300. It was back on the small blind who only took a moment and then put in a check-raise to 1,100.
Balilti sat in the tank for a moment and then put in the call on their way to a J? river. The small blind then slowed back down and checked. Balilti thought it over and then put in a final bet of 2,200.
Unfortunately, the small blind would not give him anymore action and folded. Balilti would later tell PokerNews that he got a very favorable river as he was holding AxJx.
