Half Stack For Vertiiko

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Thomas Gubler opened to 600 from under the gun and was called by Pavlo Vertiiko in the hijack. Valentino Konakchiev then three-bet to 3,000, with Victor Vozian making the call in the big blind.

Gubler and Vertiiko came along to the 910J flop, where all four players checked through to the 5 turn.

Vozian checked again before Gubler fired 2,700 into the middle. Vertiiko responded with a raise to 8,000, with Konakchiev and Vozian getting out of the way. Gubler made the call and the 4 river was revealed.

Gubler checked, with Vertiiko checking behind. Gubler showed AJ for top pair, good enough to take down another pot as Vertiiko mucked.
