Ihar Soika
Ihar Soika

Ihar Soika raised to 800 from the hijack. Michel Molenaar in the cutoff called and Alan Goasdoue defended from the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of Q♠A♠4♣ and Soika continued for 900. Molenaar folded, but Goasdoue didn't back down and called.

After Goasdoue checked the 8♦ turn, Soika fired a second barrel of 4,700. Goasdoue went into the tank and called, then led out for 2,200 on the 8♥ river.

Soika eventually made the call with A♦K♦ and won against Goasdoue's A♣6♠.
