Bolotin Tangles With Chip Leader

An interesting preflop war just developed between Alex Bolotin and Matt Vengrin.

Vengrin opened with a raise to 55,000 from early position and the action passed to Bolotin on the button who made it an additional 95,000 to go. Vengrin thought for a few moments before tossing in a heap of green 25,000 denomination chips - a raise of about 200,000 more.

Bolotin went into the tank and laid down his hand. The deep stacks are allowing for some interesting preflop battles, with Vengrin getting the upper hand and the pot with his 4-bet on this occasion. Vengrin is over the 1.6 million mark with Bolotin now down to under 400,000.
