A New Hope for Blokhin

Frank Visser

Level 12 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Alessio Isaia raised to 60,000 as first to act. Vedat Yilmaz called in the cutoff before Aleksandr Blokhin committed his final 255,000 on the button.

Isaia then four-bet to 470,000, which forced Yilmaz out of the pot.

Aleksandr Blokhin: K♥9♥ All in
Vedat Yilmaz: Q♦J♣

Neither player received help from the 4♣6♣5♦7♣7♦ board, and Blokhin resultingly doubled up.
