Shcherbakov Continues to Gain Chips
Level 4
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Paul Esau raised to 2,000 from middle position, and Hadi Khordbin called from the hijack. Kirill Shcherbakov then squeezed to 8,000 from the cutoff, which both Esau and Khordbin called.
The dealer fanned the 9♠Q♥2♥ flop, and the action checked to Shcherbakov, who fired 6,000. Esau called, while Khordbin got out of the way.
Heads-up to the K♦ turn, both players checked to see the 2♦ complete the board. Esau checked once more before folding when Shcherbakov fired a bet of 27,500.
