Tsinis Rides the See-Saw

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Arkadiy Tsinis has undone most of Michael Blanovsky's work in this heads-up battle royale to get back up to more than six million in chips.

Earlier, Tsinis limped in from the button and Blanovsky checked, only to check fold after Tsinis opened for 200,000 after the flop of {10-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. In the very next hand, Blanovsky raised to 200,000 from the button and Tsinis called before checking the flop of {7-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{7-Spades}, but this prompted Blanovsky to fire out 125,000.

Tsinis then proceeded to check-raise to 325,000, but Blanovsky returned fire, making it 700,000 to go. Tsinis called, then both players checked the turn of the {K-Clubs} before Tsinis bet out two million on the river {5-Hearts}. Blanovsky mulled it over, but decided he wanted nothing more to do with the hand and laid it down.
