Big Stack Defends Big Blind

Gert Andersen raised to 40,000 from middle position, and it folded around to Nikolay Losev, who called from the big blind.

The flop came {2-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{A-Hearts}. Losev checked, Andersen bet 60,000, and Losev called. The turn was the {Q-Clubs}. Both checked.

The river brought the {3-Hearts}. This time Losev pulled out a stack of twenty orange chips and set it out before him -- a bet of 100,000. Andersen immediately let it go.

Losev is up to 2.24 million, while Andersen currently has about 475,000.
