A Back-and-Forth Affair
Level 2
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Mantas Bagocius raised to 3,500 in the hijack and called when Aliaksei Miliutkin three-bet to 12,000 in the cutoff.
Bagocius checked the 3♠9♥10♣ flop to Miliutkin, who continued for 8,000. Bagocius then raised to 26,000, and Miliutkin called.
The subsequent K♣ turn quickly checked through to the 8♥ river, where Bagocius retook the initiative by betting 57,000. Miliutkin cut out calling chips and flicked them in after some thought.
Bagocius tabled 10♦8♦ for two pair. A frustrated Miliutkin just flashed the K♠ before mucking his other card, admitting defeat.
