Savkin Chips Up Through Ionita
Level 26
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Picking up the action on a flop of 5♠10♠9♦, Sebastian Ionita bet 1,100,000 in the cutoff after Tymofii Savkin had checked, with the latter check-calling to the 2♣ turn from the big blind.
Ionita sized up to 3,700,000, but Savkin check-called again, undeterred. The 3♥ river completed the board. Savkin checked for a third time, after which Ionita used a time bank and checked back.
Savkinn tabled 10♦7♣ for top pair, and Ionita tossed his Q♠J♣ into the muck in defeat.
