Pertea and Sochneu Battling
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Marius Pertea opened to 60,000 from under the gun. Siarhei Sochneu called from the next seat over and Francesco Di Profio also came along from the big blind.
Pertea continued for 80,000 on the Q♦3♥2♦ flop and only Sochneu called. The latter then called bets of 180,000 and 160,000 on the 5♠ turn and 10♣ river. Both players had KxQx and chopped the pot.
Two hands later, Keith Johnson raised to 50,000 from the button. Perta three-bet to 160,000 from the small blind before Sochneu bumped it up to 400,000 from the big blind. Johnson thought for a while before deciding to fold. Perta followed suit.
