Samavati Takes From Bolor-Erdene
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
From early position, Navid Samavati opened. Chinguun Bolor-Erdene defended his big blind and saw a flop of 2♣10♦A♥ that he checked.
Samavati made a continuation bet of 125,000, and was called. The J♠ appeared on the turn, but no further action followed, so Samavati and Bolor-Erdene moved on to the river 2♥, where Samavati bet 275,000.
It didn't take long before Bolor-Erdene check-folded 10♠9♦ for a pair. The stream also revealed that Samavati had A♦Q♥ for a better pair.
