Blocker Bet Works for Ushakov

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Mattheus Van Donselaar opened to 300 from under the gun, and received a call from Evgenii Ushakov in the next seat. Stoyan Madanzhiev was on the button, and he produced a three-bet to 1,200, receiving calls from both of his opponents.

Three-way to the J87 flop, which was checked through. On the 9 turn, action was checked to Madanzhiev, who slid out a bet of 1,800. Only Ushakov called.

The 2 river completed the board, and Ushakov changed approach, leading out with a blocker bet of 1,500. Madanzhiev thought for a moment but sent his hand to the dealer to give Ushakov the pot.
