Lepovic Flops the Best of It
Jose Boloqui raised to 1,700,000 with the A♠5♠ on the button and was called by Elan Lepovic in the big blind holding the 7♦6♦. The 8♦8♥8♠ flop saw Lepovic check, Boloqui bet 3,000,000, and that won the pot right there.
Boloqui then opened to 1,700,000 in the next hand and Brett Lim three-bet the button to 5,500,000 with K♦Q♦ to shut down his table neighbor.
Lepovic raised the next button to 1,600,000 with A♣J♦ and Boloqui was the one to defend with the 8♦6♣ from the big blind. They headed to the A♥A♠6♠ flop on which Boloqui checked and Lepovic bet 1,000,000. Almost instantly, Boloqui grabbed into his stack and then check-raised to 3,200,000, which Lepovic called.
Boloqui checked the 9♠ on the turn and Lepovic bet 5,000,000 for more than one third of his stack to claim the pot without any further resistance.
