Yugay Doubles Through Montois
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Fabio Peluso opened to 30,000 from middle position and Victor Yugay three-bet to 80,000 from the small blind. Julien Montois four-bet shoved for 800,000 in the big blind, covering both players. Peluso got out of the way while Yugay called off with his 385,000 stack to put himself at risk.
Victor Yugay: A?A?
Julien Montois: J?J?
Montois was in bad shape with a lower pocket pair and the A?Q?2? flop left him drawing close to dead after Yugay flopped top set. The 8?Q? turn and river changed nothing and Yugay collected a full double up, effectively swapping stack sizes with Montois.
