Shcherbakov Puts Khorchidian in the Blender
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Kirill Shcherbakov raised to 30,000 from middle position, and Nichan Khorchidian called from the hijack. Andrei Spataru also called, defending from the big blind.
On the K♠9♣A♥ flop, Spataru checked, Shcherbakov bet 35,000, and Khorchidian raised to 100,000. Spataru folded, and Shcherbakov called.
The turn was the 4♠, and both players checked to see the 2♦ land on the river. Shcherbakov led out for 65,000, only to see Khorchidian raise to 250,000. Shcherbakov then moved all in, putting Khorchidian at risk for his remaining 425,000.
Khorchidian went deep into the tank for more than two minutes before eventually letting his hand go. Shcherbakov showed the A♠ as he pulled in the big pot.
