Gueorguiev and Blain Clash Again

Just two hands after the hand elegantly explained below took place, Atanas Gueorguiev and Dermot Blain locked horns once again.

Blain got things under way with a raise from early position to 1,500, two players folded, Nicholas Katovsky called, as did Gueorguiev in the big blind. All three players checked the {3-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop.

Turn: {7-Hearts}

After seeing the flop checked around, Gueorguiev took a stab at the pot with a 2,800 bet but he found that Irishman Blain was going nowhere. However, his bet forced Katovsky out of the pot, leaving just two players to see the {q-Hearts} peel off on the river.

After betting the turn, Gueorguiev continued the aggression and put out a 6,000 bet on the river, which was enough to send Blain's hand into muck. This could be the start of a very intersting dynamic bewteen the two.
