Level 3
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Anatoly Zlotnikov opened to 2,800 from the hijack, Ze Yu Li three-bet to 10,000, and Zlotnikov called.
The 2♦4♥4♦ flop was check-called by Zlotnikov after Li bet 10,000. A 2♦ was turned and checked to the 2♠ river. Zlotnikov bet 9,000, which was enough for Li to fold.
A few hands later, Zlotnikov opened to 2,800 from late position, and Klemens Roiter called on the button. Sean Rafael defended the big blind, and the players saw a J♦2♣8♥ flop.
Action was checked to Zlotnikov, who bet 5,000 and only Rafael called. A Q♥ turn saw Rafael check-call a 12,000 bet by Zlotnikov, and the Q♠ completed the board.
Both checked to showdown, and Zlotnikov showed A♣10♠9♦8♣ for the straight, taking the pot after Rafael tabled his A♥J♣9♠8♠ for two pair.
