Delgado Chips Up; Vogelsang Finds a Double
Vicente Delgado opened to 4,000 from the hijack and was called by Alex Kulev and Santhosh Suvarna from the cutoff and button, respectively. Mikalai Vaskaboinikau also decided to defend his big bind.
Delgado continued for 5,000 on the K♥8♠5♣ flop, and only Kulev folded. Delgado then sized up to 30,000 on the K♦ turn, and both of his remaining opponents then decided to return their cards to the dealer.
The following hand, Suvarna opened to 4,500 from the hijack. Adrian Mateos called from the cutoff and Vaskaboinikau did the same from the button. Sosia Jang folded in the small blind before Christoph Vogelsang three-bet to 27,000 from the big blind after using up one of his time chips. Only Suvarna called.
Suvarna called for 18,000 on the Q♦J♥8♥ flop, which brought in the 6♣ turn. Vogelsang slowed down and checked, prompting Suvarna to fire for 47,000. Vogelsang used up another two time-chips before calling.
With 67,000 behind, Vogelsang led out for 65,500 on the J♦ river. Suvarna waited a few moments before putting his opponent all in.
"I must be behind now," commented Vogelsang before putting in the last of his chips to call.
"Oh, I'm not," said a relieved Vogelsang upon seeing Suvarna's Q♣10♣. Vogelsang then turned over his K♣J♣ for a trip jacks, besting his opponent's one pair of queens.
