Pak Gets Value as Zabrodotskyi Hero Calls with King-High
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Edward Pak was in the hijack and raised to 60,000. Yurii Zabrodotskyi defended his big blind before he checked the 10♠10♦8♦ flop. Pak fired a bet of 35,000, which Zabrodotskyi raised to 125,000.
Pak tossed in a call, seeing his opponent size up to 175,000 on the 5♣ turn. Pak called again, after which the 8♣ river completed the board.
Zabrodotskyi slowed down with a check. Pak bet 475,000 in response, the vast majority of Zabrodotskyi's stack. Zabrodotskyi spent four time banks, but could not find a fold and called.
Pak tabled 10♥7♥ for a full house. Zabrodotskyi had called with K♦Q♦, leaving himself just over five big blinds.
