Yaroshevskyy Triple Barrells

Ollie Garland

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Igor Yaroshevskyy raised to 6,000 from the cutoff. [Removed:452] defended in the big blind.

Kaladjurdjevic check-called a bet of 11,000 from Yarosshevskyy on the 7♠A♣2♣ flop.

The 5♦ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Yaroshevskyy sized up to 22,000.

The river landed the 6♣ and Kaladjurdjevic checked again. Yarashovskyy placed a bet of approximately 55,000, leaving himself one red 500 chip behind. If Kaladjurdjevic were to make the call, Yaroshevskyy's bounty would not be on the line.

Kaladjurdjevic called the floor to confirm the legality of leaving a singular chip behind. The floor ruled it a legitimate play and the action stood. Kaladjurdjevic then chose to fold.

Player	Chips	Progress
Igor Yaroshevskyy	133,000 21,000	21,000
[Removed:452]	85,000 1,000	1,000
