Vaskaboinikau Gets Aggressive on His First Hand
Level 4
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ottomar Ladva raised to 22,000 from the hijack, and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau, on his first hand of the tournament, three-bet the cutoff to 75,000. When it folded back to Ladva, he put in the call.
A check came from Ladva on the 2♠A♠6♥ flop, and Vaskaboinikau quickly bet 54,000. Ladva continued with a call.
The 3♣ arrived on the turn and Ladva checked again. Vaskaboinikau fired a second barrel to the tune of 175,000, which was enough to get a quick fold from Ladva.
