Zhugralin Fires Away at Boellis; Kirichenko Looks Up Soika
Giuliano Boellis raised to 80,000 in the cutoff before Damir Zhugralin three-bet to 350,000 in the small blind. Boellis called.
The flop was 4♦10♦3♥ and Zhugralin led out for 225,000. Boellis called and the 3♠ fell on the turn. Zhugralin then bet another 230,000.
Boellis tanked for a few minutes until the clock was called. He told the tournament official not even to start the countdown as he immediately folded.
At the same time at another table, Ihar Soika and Aleksandr Kirichenko built a pot of around 400,000 heading to the river with the board showing K♠A♥4♥2♥J♥. Soika then bet 345,000 from the button.
Kirichenko tanked while considering the bet for most of his stack until he called. Soika then showed J♠10♠, while Kirichenko had A♠K♣ for two pair to win the pot.
