Bochkarev Makes Top Pair
Level 5
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Yury Bochkarev opened 6,000 on the button, and Ismail Tas defended his big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of 8♥7♠3♠, and Tas check-called a continuation bet of 5,000.
When the 5♦ hit the turn, Tas took the lead, firing 8,000 across the line. Bochkarev made the call.
The 10♥ completed the board, and both players tapped the table. Tas showed Q♥7♥ for a pair of sevens, but it was no good as Bochkarev tabled 10♠4♠, making top pair on the river.
