Boika Blasts First Hand
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
The first hand of the day folded to Aliaksei Boika in the small blind, who raised to 200,000. Adria Calonge called in the big blind.
The 5♣J♣K♦ flop saw Boika continue for 160,000. Calonge called, after which the A♥ was dropped on the turn. Boika increased his sizing to a hefty 750,000, which Calonge called after spending one time bank.
Boika needed a time extension himself on the 7♣ river before he reigned in his aggression and checked. Calonge quickly checked behind for Boika to reveal 9♦5♥ for a pair of fives.
Calonge tabled K♥10♣ for a higher pair, awarding him the first pot of Day 6.
