Lonis Busts Boika to Take the Lead
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jesse Lonis raised to 110,000 from early position and Aliaksei Boika three-bet to 240,000 on the button. Action folded back to Lonis, who asked for a count before announcing he was all in, which was enough to put Boika all in for approximately 800,000 total. Boika quickly called and hands were revealed.
Aliaksei Boika: J♠J♣
Jesse Lonis: 7♠7♦
Boika was in great shape to double with his overpair, but the 10♥7♣8♣ flop vaulted Lonis into the lead with a set of sevens and left Boika drawing slim.
The K♥ turn and K♦ river changed nothing and with that pot, Lonis is now over three million in chips.
