Two Bets Enough For Vaskaboinikau, Just One For Grafton
Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau raised to 24,000 in the cutoff and Kayhan Mokri called from the big blind.
The flop came 8♠8♦8♣ and Vaskaboinikau continued for 15,000. Mokri called and Vaskaboinikau bet another 60,000 on the 9♠ turn.
"Pocket jacks?" Mokri asked as he mucked.
"Why did you call the flop? What were you hoping to see?" Vaskaboinikau replied, taking in the pot.
The next hand, Sam Grafton made it 30,000 in the cutoff and Timothy Adams defended. Both players checked to the river on a board of 4♦7♠9♦A♦3♣.
Grafton fired out 55,000 and Adams gave it some thought before folding.
"Three aces. Why didn't you raise?" Grafton said to Adams.
