Sloitsev Got Hot
Level 19
: 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Artem Sloitsev opened in early position and Clifton Williams called from the big blind.
Sloitsev bet 40,000 on a 
flop before he bet another 60,000 on a 
turn. On both occasions Williams check-called.
The 
river completed the board and Williams bet 100,000. Sloitsev answered him by pushing his stack into the middle, and Williams finally made the call.
Clifton Williams: 
Artem Sloitsev: 
Williams made trips nines on the river, just when Sloitsev made a flush, and Williams was eliminated.
On the next hand, the Russian was still building a stack with those new chips when his neighbor Richard Gum announced all in. Sloitsev did not ask for a count and snap-called with 
. He was battling against 
and won that hand easily after the board fell.
