Ahuja Takes a Tricky Line
Ankit Ahuja opened the cutoff to 100,000 before the action folded to Oleg Netaliev in the big blind. After a moment of thought he put in a cold three-bet to the tune of 350,000. Ahuja sat in the tank for a few minutes before putting in the call.
The 7♥10♦5♥ flop landed and Netaliev continued with a down-bet of 250,000. Ahuja then sat in the tank for close to three minutes before eventually finding a raise to 575,000. Netaliev didn't tank for long before flicking in a call and the A♣ rolled off on the turn.
The action surprisingly slowed down and checked through to a K♦ river. After Netaliev checked, Ahuja went deep into the tank for about three minutes. He then bet 640,000, only leaving himself 200,000 behind. Netaliev thought it over but eventually he mucked.
Ahuja scooped after taking a stop and go line that would ultimately earn him the pot.
