Ostash Gets Away with One
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Mykhailo Ostash raised to 300,000 from the small blind, and Aliaksei Boika called from the big blind.
Ostash continued for 225,000 on the 10♣8♥4♠ flop, and was called.
The 2♥ came in on the turn, and Ostash sized up to 800,000. Boika called to swell the pot to 2,730,000.
The K♠ completed the board, and a third barrel came from Ostash, this time for 2,100,000. Boika had 2,990,000 behind and immediately sent a time bank into the middle of the table. Several more time banks followed as the defending champion considered his options.
Despite the 9♥ only being scanned for Boika, it appeared he had the best hand due to his tank. Ostash was bluffing with Q♥9♣ and wiped the sweat off of his eyebrow when Boika folded.
