Bozhenko Reads Ostapenko Like a Book
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A pot of around 25,000 had brewed between Mikhail Ostapenko in the big blind and Ivan Bozhenko from under the gun.
The board read J♦6♣5♥Q♠ and after Ostapenko checked, Bozhenko bet 8,500. Ostapenko then raised to 25,000, which put Bozhenko in a tough spot.
"Do you have five-six?" asked Bozhenko. Ostapenko didn't give much of a response, but did make out that he would show Bozhenko his cards if he were to fold.
"I'm not sure I want to see," joked Bozhenko, who did eventually fold.
Ostapenko was true to his word and did flip over 6♠5♦ for two pair.
"I read you...like a book," said Bozhenko.
