Shafikov Pressures Kobayashi

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Hirokazu Kobayashi has gotten short-stacked of late and opened to 1,000 from early position. It folded round to Denys Shafikov on the button who upped it to 3,000. After Kobayashi called, the pair headed to the flop.

It came {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{3-Spades} and Shafikov contined for a smaller sizing of 2,000 when checked to. Kobayashi called and the dealer put the {6-Spades} on the turn. This time when Kobayashi checked, Shafikov made it 6,000, half of his opponent's remaining stack and Kobayashi didn't waste any time folding.
