Kovtunov Chips Up Early
Level 33
: 150,000/300,000, 30,000 ante
With blinds at 150,000 and 300,000, every pot is significant, and with just a couple of moves, Hlib Kovtunov has chipped up quickly.
First, Bradley Rogoff raised to 650,000 from middle position and Kovtunov jammed for 3,325,000. Rogoff folded.
Then, Kovtunov raised to 600,000 from middle position and was called by Mitch Garshofsky in the big blind.
On the 
flop, Garshofsky checked, and Kovtunov continued for the minimum of 300,000, getting a fold from Garshofsky, and boosting his stack quickly to over five million chips.
