Franken Applies Pressure on Poonhath

Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Rajeev Poonhath raised from under the gun and Michael Franken called in the big blind.
On the Q?5?4? flop, Franken checked and Poonhath bet 20,000 with the words "maybe now you believe me".
What followed was the check-raise to 55,000 by Franken and Poonhath called after checking the stack of his table neighbour on the other side of the dealer. Franken bet the 7? turn for 90,000 and Poonhath folded the Q?J? face-up.
Franken first flashed the 4? followed by the Q? to rake in the pot moments later.
In the next hand, Adam Gamsy min-raised to 16,000 but folded when Jaryd Jardien jammed the button.
