Shalamov Wins Big Pot With Queens
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Peter Tschernigg open-raised to 2,600 from early position and Mikhail Shalamov three-bet to 8,000 from the small blind, which Tschernigg called.
The flop came 3?5?8? and Shalamov made a continuation bet of 7,000. Tschernigg called and then both players checked it back on the 6? turn.
The river was the 8? and Shalamov put out a bet of 21,000. Tschernigg called and Shalamov turned over Q?Q? for two pair, queens with the eights on board. Tschernigg mucked and Shalamov scooped a big pot.
