Bochkarev Makes Top Pair
Level 5
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Yury Bochkarev opened 6,000 on the button, and Ismail Tas defended his big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of 8?7?3?, and Tas check-called a continuation bet of 5,000.
When the 5? hit the turn, Tas took the lead, firing 8,000 across the line. Bochkarev made the call.
The 10? completed the board, and both players tapped the table. Tas showed Q?7? for a pair of sevens, but it was no good as Bochkarev tabled 10?4?, making top pair on the river.
