First Blood To Voskanyan In Battle Of The Big Stacks

Artur Voskanyan has drawn first blood in the "Battle of the Big Stacks" on Table 1. He is seated in the nine seat whilst Erik Cajelais is in Seat 2 and that creates a very interesting dynamic.

We joined the action on a {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{k-Diamonds} flop with Cajelais checking from the big blind and Voskanyan checking behind on the button. Cajelais lead out for 25,000 on the arrival of the {5-Hearts} on the turn, a bet that Voskanyan had no qualms about calling.

The river brought the {9-Diamonds} into play and Cajelais checked its arrival. Voskanyan bet 60,000 and after 15-20 seconds of deliberation Cajelais decided to call.

Voskanyan turned over {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a rivered set of nines and Cajelais mucked.
