Maracchione Leaves Polito Crippled

Laurent Polito is not running good today and is now down to just 170,000 chips. He has just lost another big pot to Charly Maracchione. Maracchione opened from the small blind with a raise to 34,000 and Polito answered with a call.
The dealer opened
on the flop and Maracchione made a continuation bet of 36,000. Polito called and both players saw the
come on the turn. Maracchione bet another 57,000 and Polito called again.
The on the river was followed by a long pause from Maracchione which ended in him pushing in around 120,000 of his chips. Calling the third time would have required Polito to push almost all of his remaining chips and he finally opted to fold.
