Balaev Gets Aggressive
Level 2
: Blinds 400/600, 600 ante
Leonid Orman made it 1,400 from the cutoff with Sukhrat Massimov calling from the button, and Viacheslav Balaev defending his big blind.
Balaev checked a flop of J♣3♦J♠, prompting Orman to bet 1,300. Massimov called before Balaev sprung into action with a check-raise to 4,000, which was only called by Orman.
A 8♥ dropped on the turn and Balaev continued with a bet of 15,000. Orman slid his cards back to the dealer and surrendered the pot to Balaev.
