Shcherbakov Dominates the Table
With the pot sitting around 9,000 and the flop showing 9?5?3?, Ognyan Dimov led out with a bet of 5,000 as the first to act. Rosalie Petit wasn't shy, bumping it up to 16,000, and Kirill Shcherbakov came along with the call. Dimov decided to step aside and folded.
When the 5? hit the turn, Petit kept up the pressure with another 16,000 bet, only to face an all-in move from Shcherbakov. Petit wasn’t ready to risk her tournament life and folded, letting Shcherbakov scoop a decent pot.
In the very next hand, Evgenii Ushakov opened with a raise to 2,500 from middle position, and Shcherbakov responded by three-betting to 7,000, which Ushakov called.
On the 6?4?J? flop, Ushakov checked, and Shcherbakov fired 4,500. Ushakov called again. The 4? landed on the turn, and after another check from Ushakov, Shcherbakov bet 16,500. This time, Ushakov had enough, folding and giving the pot to Shcherbakov.
