First Blood to Zegal, Who Extends Chip Lead
Level 37
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 100,000 ante
Stanislav Zegal raised to 2 million from the button with the K?6? and then called when Michael Sklenicka three-bet to 9 million with the 7?7?.
The K?2?6? flop hit Zegal hard with two pair, and he faced a bet of 8 million from Sklenicka. Zegal called and the 2? paired the board on the turn.
Sklenicka bet again, this time 4.8 million, and Zegal took his time before just calling.
The 3? river changed nothing and Sklenicka slowed down with a check. Zegal thought long and hard before he moved all in, but Sklenicka got away from it by folding his pocket pair.
