Tkachenko Turns Top Pair
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Cervino Vazquez opened from early position and was called by Vitalii Zimkovskyi before Oleksii Tkachenko three-bet to 1,300 in the cutoff. Mateusz Kubik called out of the small blind, Vazquez called, and Zimkovskyi folded.
On the flop of 3♠5♥7♥, the action checked to Tkachenko who bet 1,600, which both Kubik and Vazquez called.
An A♣ came on the turn and again it checked to Tkachenko, who made another bet of around 3,000. Kubik then raised to 8,000, which got a fold out of Vazquez, but Tkachenko called.
Both players checked the Q♠ river where Kubik showed Q♥9♥ for a rivered pair of queens, but Tkachenko had the winner holding A♥K♥ for a pair of aces.
