Two Flopped Boats
Mike Gorodinsky started the action with a limp in the cutoff, prompting the button and Venkat Chivukula, in the small blind, to do the same. The big blind player checked, and the four went to a flop.
Action checked around to the button on the 7♣K♥K♣ flop, who bet 20,000. Chivukula called, the big blind folded, but Gorodinsky executed a check-raise to 65,000. The player on the button folded, but Chivukula called once again.
Chivukula checked for a second time on the A♦ flop, but Gorodinsky wasn't done betting, pushing out a bet of 55,000, which Chivukula called.
The river 3♦ slowed the action down, with both players checking, aware of the bubble waiting to burst. Chivukula turned over Q♦7♥7♦6♣ for a flopped full house, but was given the bad news when Gorodinsky showed he had flopped a bigger full house with K♠10♥9♦7♠.
