Poddubnii Extends His Lead Before the End
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Already chipleader with more than 10,000,000 chips, Artiom Poddubnii opened to 160,000 from middle position, and he was called by Evgheni Toporas in the cutoff.
Both players decided to check on the flop 6♣9♦5♦, and to check again on the turn A♦.
Finally, the 4♣ came on the river, and Poddubnii bet 285,000. Toporas thought about his decision for a few seconds, but eventually folded.
