Bocharov Takes Four-Bet Pot
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Nikolay Ponomarev opened to 1,600 from the cutoff, only to be faced with a three-bet to 4,800 from Andrzej Powalka on the button. Artem Bocharov was in the small blind, and he took some time to think before producing a cold four-bet to 12,500.
Ponomarev got out of the way, but Powalka called to see a flop, which came K♠Q♦7♣. Bocharov continued with a bet of 5,900, and Powalka called.
The J♦ hit on the turn, and both players elected to check their option.
The 10♣ river completed the board, bringing one-card straight possibilities. Bocharov fired out a bet of 13,600, and Powalka quickly released his cards to the dealer.
