Vaskaboinikau Makes a "Professional" Call Against Eibinger; Guilbert Bets Huge on the River
Level 9
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 7♣6♠5♠, Matthias Eibinger bet 80,000 from the button and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau called under the gun.
Both players checked the 6♥ turn. Eibinger then bet 205,000 on the 5♥ river, and Vaskaboinikau called.
"Three pair," Eibinger said, showing 3♥3♦. Vaskaboinikau turned over K♣Q♣ and took the pot with sixes and fives, king-kicker.
"Professional call," Vaskaboinikau said.
At the other table, Johan Guilbert and Artur Martirosian checked to the turn on a board of 6♥9♠J♥4♠ when Guilbert led out for 300,000 from the big blind. Martirosian called in the cutoff.
The river was the Q♠ and Guilbert bet 910,000. Martirosian quickly folded this time.
