Sverko Gets Azoulay to Fold the Best Hand
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Gregor Sverko raised with A♥4♥ in middle position to 80,000 and Jonathan Azoulay three-bet J♦10♦ from the small blind to 230,000. When it got back to Sverko, he called.
The pair saw a flop of 5♦J♥7♥, which connected with both of them as Sverko picked up a flush draw and Azoulay made top pair. Sverko checked, Azoulay bet 250,000, and Sverko check-raised to 600,000.
Azoulay did some inventory of his stack and with around 4,000,000 behind, he eventually folded the best hand.
