Vaskaboinikau Wins Flip to Double
Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Alejandro Lococo opened 14,000 in middle position before Mikalai Vaskaboinikau three-bet jammed next to act. The action quickly folded back to Lococo who asked for a count. After the dealer let him know it was 187,000 he made the call.
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: A?10?
Alejandro Lococo: 7?7?
It was a classic race but the A?5?5? flop paired Vaskaboinikau's ace to give him the lead. The K? turn and 2? river meant Vaskaboinikau could remain seated as he pulled in the pot.
