Folds in Big Pots
Jimmy Kebe had open-raised his button and Ilya Nikiforov made it 1,700 to go from the small blind. Kebe made the call and the pair saw a 2♣K♥8♠ flop.
Nikiforov maintained the aggression by betting another 1,300, which Kebe swiftly called. The A♦ turn appeared, and when Nikiforov upped his sizing to 2,700 Kebe folded.
On another table, Vahe Ter-Khachatryan and Tibor Nagygyorgy were battling over a pot the size of 8,000 chips. The flop was already present and read 7♠5♠8♦. Both players checked and the 5♣ turn fell. Now Ter-Khachatryan led out of the small blind for 3,000 and Nagygyorgy flatted from under the gun.
On the A♣ river Ter-Khachatryan slowed down with a check and Nagygyorgy went all in, covering his opponent's remaining 22,500 chips. Ter-Khachatryan folded while telling the table he had pocket queens.
Christopher Dowling and Boris Kolev were also spotted at this table with a fresh stack of 30,000 chips
