Mehra Bullies Astorga out of Pot

Action heated up on the turn with a board showing 7♦ 3♠ 8♦ 2♠ . Jun Li, in early position, fired a bet of 6,500 into the growing pot, drawing calls from both Martin Astorga in middle position and Mehra Rishi in the big blind.
When the river revealed the 2♦ , Rishi seized the moment, leading out with a hefty bet of 12,500. Li swiftly folded, leaving Astorga to weigh his options against the chip leader of the table. After a moment of contemplation, Astorga decided to relinquish his hand as well, allowing Rishi to bolster his already formidable stack.
