Koriagin Avoids Lijo's Trap
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With around 28,000 already in the middle, Vadym Koriagin fired 12,000 from early position on the turn of a K♦Q♣A♦J♥ board. Lander Lijo check-called from the big blind to see the J♦ river, checking once more.
Koriagin did not take long to check behind, with Lijo turning over K♠K♣ for a full house. Koriagin flashed 10x8x for a Broadway straight that was second best, avoiding Lijo's trap but seeing the pot slide to his right.
