Asaulenka Doubles Through Angelov
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Boris Angelov opened to 2,100 and was met by a three-bet to 5,000 by Kiryl Asaulenka.
Action folded back to Angelov and he produced the four-bet jam for 23,000 more, covering Asaulenka. After a minute or so of thought Asaulenka made the call to put himself at risk.
Kiryl Asaulenka: Q♣10♠
Boris Angelov: K♣7♣
Angelov's king-high was ahead but the flop came Q♠3♦4♦ to give Asaulenka a pair of queens, a lead he would not relinquish on the 9♥10♥ runout.
