Vasylchenko Takes Chip Lead with Trips
Level 22
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Elias Gutierrez limped in from the small blind and Oleg Vasylchenko checks it in the big blind.
The flop came 2?2?4?, and Gutierrez made it 60,000. Vasylchenko raised to 180,000 and got the call ahead of the turn.
It came the 3?, with this time Gutierrez slowing down and checking. Vasylchenko bet out 350,000 before Gutierrez called.
A J? on the river proved to be significant. Gutierrez again checked it over to the Ukrainian. He thought for a while before firing off a bet of 700,000. Gutierrez called with K?J?, but his two pair wasn't enough to beat Vasylchenko, who tabled 10?2? having flopped trips.
