Shafikov Pressures Kobayashi
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
Hirokazu Kobayashi has gotten short-stacked of late and opened to 1,000 from early position. It folded round to Denys Shafikov on the button who upped it to 3,000. After Kobayashi called, the pair headed to the flop.
It came 
and Shafikov contined for a smaller sizing of 2,000 when checked to. Kobayashi called and the dealer put the 
on the turn. This time when Kobayashi checked, Shafikov made it 6,000, half of his opponent's remaining stack and Kobayashi didn't waste any time folding.
