Sboev Triples Up
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Following an open-raise to 60,000 from the hijack, Alexandros Kolonias three-bet to 160,000 and Leon Zeaiter called on the button. Evgenii Sboev then moved all in from the big blind for 180,000. The original raiser folded, while Kolonias and Zeaiter called the extra 20,000.
Both Kolonias and Zeaiter then checked it all the way down on all three streets on a board of 4♠2♠5♠7♣6♣ to take the hand to showdown.
Kolonias showed A♥9♦ for ace-high and Zeaiter mucked. Sboev celebrated as he flipped over K♣K♦ for pocket kings to win the pot, tripling up his short stack and giving himself a shot to get back in the game.
