Shylko Goes for Value
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Three-way to a flop of 10♠6♦2♣, Vladimir Erceg checked from the big blind with A♠2♠. Aliaksandr Shylko then put a bet of 35,000 into the pot of 115,000 under the gun with 7♠7♣.
Eero Rantala called with 3♠3♥ before Erceg folded bottom pair. The 4♦ turn was subsequently checked by both players, after which Shylko fired 50,000 on the 6♣ river.
After some thought, Rantala tossed in a call. Shylko tabled his sevens and Rantala quickly tossed his inferior pocket pair into the muck.
