Varnaev Vanquishes Vaka
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Sergei Varnaev opened to 2,000 from early position, and Monica Vaka defended her big blind.
On the 9♦9♣6♣ flop, Vaka check-called versus a bet of 1,700 from her opponent.
The 7♦ hit on the turn, and Vaka opted to lead with a bet of 3,500.
Varnaev wasn't perturbed by the unorthodox line, and produced a raise to 11,500, resulting in Vaka disposing of her hand relatively quickly.
