Vaskaboinikau Wins First Hand at the Table
Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
David Yan raised 6,000 in the hijack and both Felipe Ketzer on the button and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau, who had just sat down, called in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 7♣5♠3♥ and all three players checked to the 4♦ turn. Vaskaboinikau led for 7,000 and only Ketzer made the call,
The 9♣ landed on the river and Vaskaboinikau fired once again, this time for 25,000. Ketzer only took a couple of seconds before making the call to see the 5♥3♣ of Vaskaboinikau, which was good as he pitched his cards into the muck.
