Kaladjurdjevic Holds to Double Through Balaev
Level 4
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
The action folded around to Viacheslav Balaev in the small blind, who made it 10,500 to go. Dejan Kaladjurdjevic was in the big blind and after burning through a few time banks, he called.
On the K♥7♥8♠ flop, Balaev continued for 8,000 and Kaladjurdjevic raised to 18,000. A small click back then came in from Balaev as he made it 30,000 to go, before Kaladjurdjevic shoved for 80,000 total. Balaev snap-called.
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic: K♦Q♣
Viacheslav Balaev: A♥J♥
Kaladjurdjevic was in the lead with his pair of kings, but had to dodge aces and hearts as Balaev had an overcard and a flush draw.
The 7♦ put Kaladjurdjevic half way there, and he successfully dodged the river as the 6♣ peeled off, earning him a double-up.
