Verenko Fells "Megas" as First Casualty
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Roman Verenko raised to 3,500 in early position. "Megas" called in the cutoff before Daniel Zaremba came along on the button. The trio saw a flop of Q♣J♣6♥, where Verenko continued for 8,000.
"Megas" then raised to 25,000, forcing out Zaremba. Verenko decided to three-bet to 88,000, after which "Megas" shoved all in for a starting stack. Verenko snap-called and the cards went face-up.
"Megas": J♠J♥10♠9♥
Roman Verenko: A♥A♣Q♥Q♦
Verenko had flopped top set against the middle set of "Megas". "Megas" made a straight on the K♠ turn to take a big lead, but the 6♦ river paired the board to give Verenko the best full house.
He doubled up and left "Megas" with no chips remaining.
