Vismanis Starts Well
Alexander Sokolovsky raised from early position to 1,200 and Stefanos Kechagias called from the cutoff before Kristaps Vismanis three-bet the button to 3,400. Both Sokolovsky and Kechagias called.
The trio saw a flop of K♣A♥7♣ that was checked to Vismanis, who fired out 6,000. Sokolovsky quickly folded, but Kechagias called.
A 9♣ on the turn saw Kechagias switch up his strategy a little and he led out for 6,000 when the flush completed, but Vismanis wasn't going anywhere just yet and called.
When the 7♠ paired the board on the river, Kechagias continued to tell a story that he was strong and bet 11,000, only for Vismanis to raise to 42,000. Kechagias thought about it for about 30 seconds and eventually found the fold, allowing Vismanis to scoop in the pot.
