Sinevich Picks Off Afsharorumieh; Cotescu Wins a Small One
Afshin Afsharorumieh limped from under the gun and when it got to Alesia Sinevich on the button, she made it 8,000 to go. Afsharorumieh called to see a flop of 3♦4♦5♠, where both players checked.
A K♦ dropped on the turn and Afsharorumieh check-called a bet of 10,000 and then decided to lead for 16,000 when the Q♦ put a fourth diamond on board. Sinevich didn't need to think for too long before she called.
Afsharorumieh then mucked at showdown, meaning Sinevich claimed the pot without revealing her cards.
Elsewhere, Sandra Cotescu and Katherina Aristotelos just played out a small pot. There was an open from late position and Aristotelos three-bet from the small blind to 10,500. Cotescu cold-called from the big blind, and the initial raiser folded.
Both checked the 6♣7♣Q♣ flop to the 8♥ turn, where Aristotelos checked and Cotescu fired 13,000. That was enough to earn her the pot as Aristotelos folded.
