More Chips for Defending Champion
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Aliaksei Boika made it 50,000 to go in the cutoff, having looked at 6♠6♣. Tomasz Brzezinski three-bet to 150,000 on the button with K♣Q♦, and Boika bought a flop with his call.
The small bet of 80,000 Brzezinski wagered on the 10♠8♠2♠ flop was not enough to fold out Boika. The 2016 EPT Malta champion called to see the 8♦ river, where he led out for 75,000.
Brzezinski needed one time bank before he folded his king-high, surrendering more chips to Boika.
