Belov Smacks the Flop to Double Off Sanechika
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Nana Sanechika raised to 2,500 in the hijack and Sviatoslav Belov three-bet to 10,000 in the small blind. Sanechika called and they saw a flop of Q♦3♦7♦.
Belov continued for 7,500 and Sanechika called. Belov bet another 20,000 on the 6♥ turn and Sanechika again called.
The river was the 5♣ and Belov moved all in for 37,200. Sanechika snap-called with K♣Q♥, but Belov had 10♦9♦ for a flopped flush to win the pot and double up.
"Are you a cash game player? Because cash game players don't call in the small blind," a tablemate said to Belov.
"Actually, I'm recreational," Belov replied.
