Tim Baker

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Yahor Dambrouski raised to 4,500 from the cutoff ad Aliaksei Boika three-bet to 17,000 out of the small blind. After the big blind folded, Dambrouski called.

Boika put out a continuation-bet of 8,000 on the 4♣4♦J♠ flop and Dambrouski called.

Boika chose to check the 10♣ turn, which prompted Dambrouski to bet 15,500. Boika check-raised to 45,000 and Dambrouski quickly called.

Boika bet enough to put Dambrouski all-in when the 3♣ came on the river. Dambrouski had roughly 160,000 remaining in his stack and after a few moments, decided to fold and forfeit the pot to Boika.
