Big Blind Special for Escote

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante

Oleg Egorov three-bet shoved out of the big blind against a raise by Catalin Pop and forced a fold.

Then, Egorov raised and Sergi Escote defended the big blind. Escote checked and Egorov checked behind. The {9-Diamonds} fell on the turn and Escote bet 60,000, which Egorov called. After the {A-Clubs} river, Escote made it 88,000 to go and Escote gave it some consideration before tossing in a chip for the call.

Escote rolled over {9-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a full house, and Egorov shook his head before paying off the Spaniard.
