Pavlov Wins Another Pot Off Picone
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Igor Picone raised to 42,000 with the A?10? in the small blind, Atanas Pavlov called with the K?Q? in the big blind. A bet of 25,000 by Picone followed on the Q?8?5? flop and Pavlov called with his top pair.
The J? turn saw Picone fire another 105,000 and Pavlov was not going anywhere. It led to the 3? river on which Pavlov had less than the pot behind.
Nearly the entire shot clock of Picone disappeared before he checked. Pavlov bet 260,000 with two and a half blinds behind to force out the rampant Belgian.
