Tkachenko Turns Top Pair
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Cervino Vazquez opened from early position and was called by Vitalii Zimkovskyi before Oleksii Tkachenko three-bet to 1,300 in the cutoff. Mateusz Kubik called out of the small blind, Vazquez called, and Zimkovskyi folded.
On the flop of 3?5?7?, the action checked to Tkachenko who bet 1,600, which both Kubik and Vazquez called.
An A? came on the turn and again it checked to Tkachenko, who made another bet of around 3,000. Kubik then raised to 8,000, which got a fold out of Vazquez, but Tkachenko called.
Both players checked the Q? river where Kubik showed Q?9? for a rivered pair of queens, but Tkachenko had the winner holding A?K? for a pair of aces.
