Vlasov Finds an Early Double
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
With two players seeing a board of K♣Q♣3♦ and roughly 35,000 in the middle, Vladimir Alekseev checked from early position and Denis Vlasov bet 7,000 from the cutoff. Alekseev moved all in for 116,500, sending Vlasov briefly into the tank.
After about a minute Vlasov flicked in the call and was at risk.
Denis Vlasov: A♦K♥
Vladimir Alekseev: K♠J♠
Vlasov was in great shape with the bigger ace and remained ahead on the 4♠ turn and 8♣ river to secure a full double up at Alekseev's expense.
