Kozenkai Hero Calls at the Wrong Time
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Bjorn Kozenkai opened to 55,000 from the hijack holding J♥8♥ and Victor Yugay defended from the big blind with A♦6♦.
The flop came A♣9♦8♦. Yugay checked, Kozenkai bet 35,000 and Yugay just called.
On the 2♣ turn both players checked leading to the 6♠ river. Yugay bet 145,000 and Kozenkai made the call. Yugay's two pair was good for the winner and he collected a sizable pot.
