Closing the Gap

Arkadiy Tsinis is probably not having the best time out there, as his heads-up opponent Michael Blanovsky brings the margin even closer in this battle for the WSOP Event #38 bracelet.

Earlier, Blanovsky raised to 200,000 from the button and Tsinis called before both players checked the flop of {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, only to see Tsinis check-fold after Blanovsky bet 275,000 on the turn of the {6-Diamonds}.

A few hands later, Blanovsky raised to 200,000 and Tsinis called before opening for 250,000 after the flop of {8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Blanovsky called, then Tsinis led out for 300,000 on the turn of the {3-Spades}, but quickly folded after Blanovsky raised to 1.2 million.
