Boika Folds Out Two Better Hands
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Mykhailo Ostash made it 50,000 to go in middle position with Q♥Q♦. Aliaksei Boika flat-called K♥Q♠ in the small blind, and Tomasz Brzezinski defended his big blind with A♣10♥.
The blinds checked to Ostash on the 4♥6♥A♠ flop, who bet 45,000 and was called in both spots. Boika led out for 100,000 on the 9♥, which folded out Brzezinski's top pair.
Ostash stuck around with a call, however, and the 10♦ river graced the felt afterward. Boika slid in a pot-sized bet of 500,000, to which Ostash eventually folded as he neared the end of his regular shot clock.
