Big Bet on the River
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Alexander Norden kicked things off with an open raise in the hijack, drawing two callers: Sergey Lebedev on the button and Mehdi Senhaji in the big blind.
The flop came 2♣K♦K♥, and the action checked to Lebedev, who slid out a bet of 8,000. Norden made the call while Senhaji stepped aside.
Both players checked the Q♠ turn, bringing the action to the 8♠ river. Norden checked again, and Lebedev fired a sizable bet of 50,000. The pressure was enough to push Norden off his hand, leaving Lebedev to pull in the pot.
