Vaskaboinikau's River Bet Earns the Pot
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel opened 20,000 in the hijack and only Mikalai Vaskaboinikau came along in the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of Q?8?7?, and Vaskaboinikau check-called a continuation bet of 30,000 from Thorel.
When the 6? fell on the turn, both players quickly checked.
The 5? completed the board on the river, and Vaskaboinikau led out for 75,000. Thorel didn't take much time before giving his cards back to the dealer.
