Voronin Strikes Big Blow Against Tran
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Duc Tuan Tran raised to 3,000 and Alexey Borovkov three-bet to 12,000 in the small blind. Konstantin Voronin called in the big blind, as did Tran on the button. On the J♥10♦4♦ flop, Borovkov bet 15,000 and Voronin called. Tran raised to 42,000, picking up calls from both opponenents.
On the 5♠ turn, only Voronin check-called for 80,000 when Tran bet and they checked the 7♥ on the river. Voronin exposed the A♥10♣ and the pair of tens was good to win the massive pot in the first level of the day.
