Boika Sends Spicy Check-Raise
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Toni Kaukua raised to 120,000 in the hijack with 7♠7♣. Aliaksei Boika defended Q♠J♠ in the big blind before he checked the 5♠4♥9♦ flop over to Kaukua.
The Finn continued with a bet of 110,000, but Boika responded with a raise to 330,000. Undeterred, Kaukua called to the 10♣ turn. However, when Boika fired a second barrel of 500,000, Kaukua quickly mucked his pocket pair.
