Abramchuk Doubles Through Yotsushika
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Dario De Paz opened under the gun and was called by Mahesh Kartik next along. Action folded to Ivan Abramchuk who looked like he was pondering a three-bet but ultimately decided to just call.
Kazuhiko Yotsushika was on the button and produced a three-bet of 7,000. De Paz and Kartik quickly folded but Abramchuk looked skeptical, the spot looking perfect for a button light squeeze.
After some thought, Abramchuk back-jammed for 23,600. Yotsushika didn't like it but clearly felt he was priced in and made a relatively quick call, with Abramchuk at risk.
Ivan Abramchuk: 9♠9♣
Kazuhiko Yotsushika: A♣10♦
Abramchuk was ahead in a race and remained so after the 8♥3♠4♦7♥7♣ runout, sending him a nice double-up and leaving Yotsushika with crumbs.
