Fal Strikes First
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Nikolay Fal opened to 40,000 in middle position and found a call from Yassin Mahmoud in the cutoff.
Fal checked the 6?10?Q? flop, making the call once Mahmoud fired 40,000. Another check from Fal followed the 7? turn, with Mahmoud betting 65,000.
The call was made to the J? river, where Fal led out for 125,000. Mahmoud took a moment before making the fold.
