Okhotskyi a "Silent Assassin"; Talbot Feels Rich
Oleh Okhotskyi and Jacob Amsellem were heads-up on a flop of 8♥6♣2♣ when Amsellem led out for 4,500 from the small blind. Okhotskyi called in early position.
The turn came the 9♣ and Amsellem checked over to Okhotskyi, who bet 6,300. Amsellem called and the 10♥ fell on the river. Okhotskyi then bet 10,600.
"I'm rich," tablemate Parker Talbot said, studying his 35,000 stack while Amsellem went into the tank.
"First bullet?" Jan Svec asked him.
"Yes, but I only sat down in the last hour. I wanted to wait until tomorrow and stay in bed, but I decided to come hang out for three hours. I hope to have 260K," Talbot replied.
"100K is still 100 bigs," Svec added.
"Buddy, if I have nine black chips going into tomorrow, I'll be a happy man," Talbot said.
Amsellem ended up folding after a few minutes and Okhotskyi took the pot. "Bluffing again?" Talbot asked him, but Okhotskyi returned his cards face down without replying. "Just a silent assassin," Talbot added.
