Bezhanyan Gets the Better of Voronin
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Konstantin Voronin made it 5,000 from middle position and Rauf Avci called from the small blind. Aren Bezhanyan squeezed it to 22,500 out of the big blind, and only Voronin called.
Bezhanyan fired a continuation-bet of 16,500 on the 6♠4♣A♣ flop, and Voronin called.
The 7♦ fell on the turn, prompting Bezhanyan to check. Voronin bet 15,000 and was met by a check-raise to 100,000 by Bezhanyan. Voronin leaned back in his chair and went into the tank for quite some time. After over a minute of thinking, Voronin carved out the call.
Bezhanyan jammed for his last 14,000 on the 3♣ river, and after a few moments, Voronin reluctantly called.
Bezhanyan showed the winner with A♥10♣ for top pair, as Voronin only had 8♥6♦ for a pair of eights.
