Minko Wins a Small One
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Christopher Nguyen raised to 4,000 on the button with A♣8♥ and Vladimir Minko defended in the big blind with A♠10♣.
The flop came J♥3♥7♣ and Minko check-called a bet of 4,500 from Nguyen, bringing the 4♦ turn which went check-check.
The river brought the J♠ and action went check-check again. Minko's kicker played and the small pot was pushed his way.
