Auzoux Puts Vaskaboinikau to the Test
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau opened to 22,000 from the hijack and Gregoire Auzoux three-bet to 82,000. Vaskaboinikau used two time banks before putting in a four- bet to 225,000. Auzoux responded with a five-bet shove for 733,000, putting Vaskaboinikau deep into the tank.
"I have ace-queen" Vaskaboinikau told his opponent. "I feel like you're bluffing".
"Then call" replied Auzoux. "I can tell you one thing. It's not a flip"
Vaskaboinikau used several more time banks before eventually folding. Auzoux revealed that he had A?Q? before collecting a huge pot without having to see a flop.
