"Now I'm Here to Stay"
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Action folded around to Ihar Soika, who raised to 25,000 from the button, which was most of his stack. Artem Kobylynskyi called in the big blind. After a little confusion on the floor, action continued.
The flop came 6♣3♦2♣. Kobylynskyi moved all in for Soika's remaining 4,000 and Soika called. Players flipped their cards.
Ihar Soika: A♦Q♥
Artem Kobylynskyi: K♥J♥
The turn came the 3♠ and the river was the 6♠. Neither player improved their starting hands and so Soika held with his ace-queen high to double up his stack.
"Now I'm here to stay," said Soika. "Sorry bro!"
