Litvinov In Form

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Russian high roller Artem Litvinov is really at it again today. He's talking with anyone and everyone and already ordered his first beer a couple of minutes ago.

While busy ordering his refreshment he was seated in the big blind and he called a raise from Jacek Markowski in late position. He check called a 400 bet on {J-Spades}{K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and both players checked the {K-Spades} on the turn. The {4-Hearts} fell on the river and by now he had accidentally dropped his drink and tried to safe what had not been lost yet.

His opponent bet 700 by announcing seven. "Seven high?" asked Litvinov who wasn't looking at the board at all. "No, seven hundred" said the dealer. "Bullshit" laughed Litvinov who quickly mucked.

A hand later he was again involved, this time without looking at his cards. He thought there was a raise to 250 but it had already been three-bet to 700. He surrendered the 250, and mucked for the rest of it after checking his cards.

Simeon Naydenov had opened for 250 and Jacek Markowski had made it 700. Litvinov thus wasn't involved, but Naydenov added the extra 450 and made the call. {2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} on the flop and both players checked. The {8-Hearts} fell on the turn and Naydenov check-called 850. Naydenov, who owns a WSOP bracelet and finished 6th in Vienna for €151,000, check-called another 2,200 bet.

Markowski showed {8-Spades}{9-Spades} and Naydenov mucked.

"You three-betting eight-nine huh?" asked Litvninov with a big smile. "You be careful, my friend is very lucky" Litvinov continued, pointing to Naydenov. "I'm not lucky, otherwise I would have been playing the high rollers" laughed Naydenov.

Table 21 is anything but boring, that's for sure.
