Shekerdemian's Aggression Pays Off
Almaz Kenzhinov opened the action with a raise to 500 from under the gun. Hasan Fahriogullari called from the small blind, but Vako Shekerdemian in the big blind had other plans, putting in a three-bet of 1,500. Both Kenzhinov and Fahriogullari called.
On the 3♣5♠9♣ flop, Shekerdemian led out with a bet of 2,100, which Kenzhinov called while Fahriogullari folded.
The 3♥ turn saw Shekerdemian fire another 2,000, and Kenzhinov called once again.
On the 4♦ river, Shekerdemian continued his aggression with a 2,100 bet, but this time Kenzhinov raised to 6,000. Shekerdemian quickly called. Kenzhinov revealed J♣J♥ for an overpair, but Shekerdemian tabled K♥K♦ for a better one, scooping the pot and leaving Kenzhinov shaking his head at the unlucky showdown.
