Lappo Takes the Safe Option
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Srdan Milicevic opened the cutoff and picked up three callers in Vladimir Lappo on the button, Erdal Gulseven in the small blind, and Oleksii Shchukin in the big blind.
All four checked the 7♦K♣K♥ flop to the Q♣ turn, where it checked to Lappo. He then bet 16,000, which only Shchukin called.
A 9♣ on the river brought in all kinds of draws and after Shchukin checked, Lappo took some time before he knuckled back.
Shchukin revealed a pair of queens with Q♥7♥, but that was no good as Lappo had K♦J♠ for trips.
