Zervos Bets Big on the River Against Soika
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ihar Soika bet 8,000 from under the gun on a flop of 5♦3♥5♥ and Bernhard Binder called in the cutoff. Alexios Zervos then raised to 35,000 in the big blind, Soika called, while Binder got out of the way.
The turn was the 4♥ and Zervos bet 42,000. Soika again called and the 10♦ fell on the river.
Zervos then bet 135,000, sending Soika deep into the tank. A tablemate eventually called the clock after nearly five minutes and Soika folded.
"Big fold?" Zervos asked him and Soika shook his head.
"No," Zervos said in disbelief.
"Ace-high," another tablemate added.
