Agression Pays, Sometimes

Jonas Klausen's good start has been clipped back a little by Sudarikov Alexey. The two were heads up to a {k-Spades} {j-Diamonds} {j-Clubs} flop and Klausen led for 800. Alexey clicked it up to 1,600 and the Dane made a quick call. The two of them checked down the {8-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} turn and river before Klausen opened {a-Hearts} {q-Diamonds} . Alexy tabled {7-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} and took the pot.

Meanwhile, on one table along, aggression was paying for Giulio Mascolo. He was facing a raise up to 4,400 from Maxim Panyak. He answered the raise by putting in another bet up to 10,000. The Russian stared down his German opponent before he conceded and slid his cards towards the muck.
