Ostapchenko Wins the Battle of the Blinds
Level 8
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jason Koon limped in the small blind before Andrew Ostapchenko raised to 24,000 in the big blind. Koon called, and the two players saw a flop of 4♣3♦9♠.
Koon check-called a bet of 30,000 before both players checked the Q♣ turn.
When action checked to Ostapchenko for a third time on the 3♥ river, he pushed out a tower of green chips, totalling 150,000. This bet was for most of Koon's stack, and after using a time bank, he chose to fold.
