Angelov Back with a Bang

Level 5 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In one of the first hands since the players returned from their break, Andrew Pacheco limped in from the cutoff before seeing Marius Gierse raise to 12,000 on the button. Boris Angelov called in the small blind, and Pacheco called too.

The action checked to Gierse on the 3K3 flop, who bet 10,000. Angelov responded with a check-raise to 28,000, which saw Pacheco fold, but Gierse call.

Angelov continued for 60,000 on the J turn, undeterred, Gierse called again.

The action then checked through on the 6 river. Angelov tabled KQ, and Gierse mucked his hand.
