Savchenko Applies the Pressure
Level 28
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Hesham Ayoub raised to 260,000 in the cutoff and Alexander Savchenko three-bet to 535,000 in the small blind. Ayoub called.
The flop came Q♥4♣J♥ and Savchenko continued with a bet of 325,000. Ayoub called, bringing the 2♣ turn.
Savchenko bet again, this time for 530,000 and Ayoud made the call after taking some time to think through his decision.
On the 8♥ river, Savchenko slid out a bet of 1,175,000, prompting Ayoud to give up his hand.
