Bezhanyan Gets One Through on "Kenar"; Takes the Chip Lead
Level 23
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Rahul Byrraju raised to 400,000 from the hijack with Q♠J♥ and Aren Bezhanyan called on the button with K♥J♠. "Kenar" also called with 9♦7♦ in the big blind.
The three saw a flop of 4♣9♣6♥, which checked to Bezhanyan, who fired 550,000. "Kenar" called with his top pair, and Byrraju folded.
A 4♥ paired the board on the turn and after "Kenar" checked, Bezhanyan kept barreling with a bet of 1,275,000. "Kenar" was undeterred and put in the call.
When the 10♦ landed on the river, "Kenar" checked for a third time and Bezhanyan unloaded the clip with a bet of 1,650,000. "Kenar" rechecked his cards and laid down the best hand.
