Zaichenko Four-Bet Shoves

Matthew Pitt

Anton Wigg has been very active since the restart having played all three hands dealt to him; coming in for a raise to 33,000 on each occasion.

This was the third time Wigg had opened, this time from the hijack, and finally someone stood up to him and three-bet to 63,000 next to act; that person being Bahdir Kilickeser. Marc Wright folded on the button but Andrey Zaichenko went into the tank for a full minute before emerging with an all-in four-bet. Wigg quickly folded but Kilickeser gave the hand much more thought.

He first asked for an official count and the dealer obliged and informed him the bet was 241,000 in total. Armed with this new information Kilickeser counted out the required amount of chips but despite getting favourable odds and still having around 1,000,000 chips if he called and lost he could not pull the trigger and he folded.

"I thought you were my friend and you are bluffing me already," said Wigg to the three-bet-folder.

"I wasn't bluffing," came the reply.

"Really. But you were getting such a good price," informed Wigg.
