Vaka Busts to Varnaev in Four-Bet Pot
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Monica Vaka raised to 2,400 from late position and Sergei Varnaev three-bet to 8,500 from the button. Vaka then four-bet to 24,000 and Varnaev looked across at his opponent before carefully placing a call in the middle.
The flop came Q♥J♣A♣ and Vaka moved all in for a little less than 30,000, which Varnaev snap-called. Vaka showed A♥10♦ for a pair of aces, while Varnaev turned over A♠Q♠ for two pair, aces and queens.
The turn was the 8♠ and river the 8♦. Varnaev held to win the pot, sending Vaka to the rail.
