Petkov Doubles Up in Huge Battle of the Blinds
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Lachezar Petkov in the small blind and Hyunsup Kim in the big blind got into a raising war preflop, resulting in a pot of 1,200,000 chips when the flop of 10♠9♣5♥ was dealt.
Petkov then made a bet of 270,000, which Kim raised to 700,000. Petkov three-bet jammed for 1,250,000 and Kim was visibly distraught.
He asked for a count before he thought the situation over for a minute or so.
"I think I'm committed," he concluded before slamming in the call to put Petkov at risk.
Lachezar Petkov: Q♠Q♣
Hyunsup Kim: 6♥6♦
Kim only had two clean outs but no six appeared on the K♣9♠ runout to save him. Petkov and Kim traded stacks as it was Petkov who obtained a stack of one and a half times the average.
