Zaytsev Doubles to Take the Lead
Ilya Gorodetskiy, editor of Pokernews UK & Europe magazine, opened with a cheeky raise, holding pocket tens. Jean Goncalves called behind, but Evgeniy Zaytsev in the small blind reraised. Gorodetskiy passed his tens ("I knew I was right," he said afterwards), but Goncalves made the call, and they saw a flop.
Flop:
Zaytsev bet out, and again Goncalves called. They proceeded.
Turn:
There was around 30,000 in the pot by this point. Zaytsev moved all in for 25,000. Goncalves called.
Zaytsev:
Goncalves:
River:
A very relieved Zaytsev doubled to 80,000 - as far as we can see, that's the biggest stack in the room right now. Goncalves is still in, on 15,000.
