Pavlov Wins Another Pot Off Picone
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Igor Picone raised to 42,000 with the A♣10♠ in the small blind, Atanas Pavlov called with the K♠Q♥ in the big blind. A bet of 25,000 by Picone followed on the Q♦8♥5♠ flop and Pavlov called with his top pair.
The J♦ turn saw Picone fire another 105,000 and Pavlov was not going anywhere. It led to the 3♣ river on which Pavlov had less than the pot behind.
Nearly the entire shot clock of Picone disappeared before he checked. Pavlov bet 260,000 with two and a half blinds behind to force out the rampant Belgian.
