Troyanovsky Left Short by Bako
Level 14
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Mazalahedwa Bako opened to 50,000 from under the gun and was three-bet by a player in middle position to 125,000. Vladimir Troyanovsky then shoved his stack of around 650,000 in from the hijack, and when it got back to Bako, he called off his stack of 415,000. The other player folded.
Mazalahedwa Bako: K♣K♦ 
Vladimir Troyanovsky: A♣K♠
Bako was in the lead with his Cowboys and remained ahead after the 3♦3♥9♠ flop. A 9♥ on the turn put him one step closer to scooping the pot, which was confirmed when Bako improved to a boat on the K♥ river.
