Prokopchuk Gets a Squeeze Through
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Derek Sudell opened to 300,00 from middle position with A♠J♦ and Ihab Ali called from the hijack with 8♥8♣. Mikhail Prokopchuk then three-bet A♥K♣ from the big blind to 1,400,,000, which got Sudell to fold. Ali also let his hand go, and Prokopchuk took it down.
Shortly after. Sergio Veloso limped in from the small blind with Q♠8♦ and Kenny Hallaert checked his option in the big blind with 9♦2♠.
Velose tapped the table on the J♠8♠4♠ flop and then called a bet of 150,000 from Hallaert. A 6♥ on the turn saw both players check to the 4♦ river, where Veloso bet 350,000 with his eight. Hallaert snap-folded.
