Denisov Takes Pot to Catapult Him Into the Chip Lead

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Aleksandr Denisov
Aleksandr Denisov

Aleksander has soared into the lead following a clash with Jiayu Ruan. PokerNews didn't see the hand unfold but Denisov was kind enough to take us through the action.

It all began with a 2,200 open from Yaniv Peretz and Jiayu Ruan three-bet to 7,200. When it folded to Aleksandr Denisov, he cold four-bet to 32,000. The flop came {k-}{5-}{6-} and continued for 30,000, which Ruan flat called.

The turn was a {2-} and Denisov check-called another 30,000. The final card out was a {4-} and Denisov check-called once more, this time for 65,000. He tabled ace-king for top pair, top kicker and Ruan sent his cards into the muck. Denisov is the current chip leader after that pot and Ruan is left short.
