Hanel Takes a Massive Pot

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Jaromir Hanel opened to 500 from the hijack and was called by Tyson Strauss in the cutoff and Yuliyan Kolev on the button. Maksym Filipovskyi in the big blind squeezed to 2,700, but Hanel four-bet to 7,700. Both Strauss and Kolev folded but Filipovskyi called.

The dealer fanned a flop of QJ5 and Hanel continued for 2,000. Filipovskyi check-called.

Hanel fired a second barrel to 5,500 on the 8 turn, but after using a time bank extension, Filipovskyi check-raised to 25,000. It didn't take long for Hanel to call.

The 10 river completed the board and Filipovskyi bet 22,000, with only 2,500 behind. Hanel called with AQ for top pair and caught Filipovskyi with 77.
