Tikhonov Ends Up Chopping With Novak
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Andrii Novak had opened from the cutoff then called a three-bet from Sergey Tikhonov on the button to see a flop of 10♦A♥A♦, where Novak check-called a bet of 13,000 from Tikhonov.
A 5♠ saw Novak again go into check-call mode when Tikhonov fired out 55,000, and they both watched the 10♠ double-pair the board on the river. Novak checked for a third time and Tikhonov fired one more bet of around 80,000 into the pot. Novak snap-called.
Tikhonov showed A♣K♠ for a boat, and Novak had the same hand with A♠J♣, meaning they chopped up the pot.
