Giesbrecht Headed Back in the Right Direction
"Got a break at a good time, hemorrhaging down to 17k," Sean Giesbrecht tweeted on the break. "Time to get serious"
It seems he took it to heart as he just won a nice pot off Vladimir Troyanovskiy, who is fresh off his fifth-place finish in the 2016 PCA Main Event.
It happened when Giesbrecht opened for 1,500 from the cutoff and Alex Trevallion called from the small blind. Troyanovskiy came along from the big and three players took a flop of 
. Two checks saw Giesbrecht continue for 2,100, Trevallion folded, and Troyanovskiy woke up with a check-raise to 4,700.
Giesbrecht made the call, both players checked the 
turn, and Troyanovskiy fired out 5,300 on the 
river. Giesbrecht snap-called and Troyanovskiy sheepishly showed the 
for a bluff. Giesbrecht then tabled the 
for a pair of aces and the win.
