Urbanovich Deals Mortal Blow to Swieboda

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Dzmitry Urbanovich
Dzmitry Urbanovich

Dzmitry Urbanovich opened to 30,000 from middle position and Bartlomiej Swieboda three-bet to 75,000 from the button. Urbanovich four-bet to 140,000 and Swieboda made the call.

The flop came Q8J and Urbanovich fired a 105,000 continuation bet that was called by Swieboda.

Urbanovich checked on the Q turn and Swieboda moved all in, coverig Urbanovich who had 167,000 behind. Urbanovich snap-called and was at risk.

Dzmitry Urbanovich: QJ
Bartlomiej Swieboda: AA

Swieboda had trapped preflop with aces only for Urbanovich to flop top two pair and fill up on the turn. Swieboda couldn't find an ace on the 8 river and was left with just one big blind. Swieboda would bust shortly afterwards on the soft-bubble while Urbanovich secured a massive double up.
