Vezhenkov Battles with Nakamura
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Once the action folded to Artem Vezhenkov on the button, the Russian online grinder made it 5,000 to go. He was three-bet to 20,000 by Tamon Nakamura in the next seat and Vezhenkov called to the A♥A♣9♦ flop. Nakamura made it 11,000 to go and Vezhenkov called.
Both players checked the 6♥ on the turn before Nakamura bet another 50,000 on the 8♣ river. Vezhenkov raised it up to 175,000 with very few chips behind and forced out Nakamura.
