Tishkevich Hits Top Pair
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Stanislav Tishkevich opened to 4,000 from early position, but Alexander Tkatschew to his left three-bet to 12,500. All the other players folded to Tishkevich again, who called.
Tkatschew continued with a bet of 7,500 on the 7♥5♦A♦ flop, and Tishkevich eventually called. But the 5♠ on the turn slowed down the action as both players checked.
The 2♥ came on the river, with Tishkevich leading out for 25,000. Tkatschew snap-called, but mucked his cards as Tishkevich revealed A♠Q♠ for top pair.
