Menicanin Takes from Ivanov
Level 6
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
With three players seeing a board of 10♠6♥2♠ and roughly 15,000 in the middle, Mario Menicanin checked from the small blind and Lyudmil Ivanov bet 5,100 from under the gun. Dmitrii Kuzin folded from the hijack before Menicanin put in a check-raise to 17,000. Ivanov made the call.
Menicanin bet 47,000 on the 9♣ turn and this time it was enough to force a fold from Ivanov.
Despite taking the hit Ivanov's stack of just over 400,000 is well ahead of any other player in the room at this time.
