Vaskaboinikau's River Bet Earns the Pot
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel opened 20,000 in the hijack and only Mikalai Vaskaboinikau came along in the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of Q♣8♣7♠, and Vaskaboinikau check-called a continuation bet of 30,000 from Thorel.
When the 6♣ fell on the turn, both players quickly checked.
The 5♠ completed the board on the river, and Vaskaboinikau led out for 75,000. Thorel didn't take much time before giving his cards back to the dealer.
