Limps Lead to Big Pot
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Maryia Lozhkina limped in from middle position. Tomas Kovalenka followed suit in the cutoff before Peter Kvisthammar upped the ante to 8,000 in the small blind. Lozhkina and Kovalenka both called.
Kvisthammar continued for 7,000 on the 6♠9♦Q♥ flop. Lozhkina folded, but Kovalenka called. After Kvisthammar checked the 4♥ turn, Kovalenka bet 15,000. Kvisthammar called to the 7♠ river, where both players checked.
Kvisthammar showed J♠J♥, and his jacks were good as Kovalenka mucked his hand.
