Balaev Fires at Yokosawa
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Fabiano Kovalski raised to 3,000 in early position and Masato Yokosawa called in middle position. Viacheslav Balaev then three-bet to 20,000 on the button, and only Yokosawa called.
Balaev bet 12,000 on the K♥5♣7♥ flop and Yokosawa called. The turn was the 4♥ and Balaev bet another 22,000. Yokosawa again called.
The river came the 8♣ and Balaev bet 30,000. Yokosawa took a minute, but this time he mucked his cards and surrendered the pot to Balaev.
