Bokowski Nears Half a Million
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
On a board of A♥7♣8♣10♦7♦, there were around 40,000 chips in the middle when Nicolas Bokowski checked from the big blind and Aleksey Cherkasov bet 20,000 from middle position. Bokowski then shoved, which put Cherkasov to the test for his remaining stack of 40,000. Some time went by while Cherkasov tried to piece together the puzzle, and eventually he called.
Bokowski then showed a straight with J♣9♦, and Cherkasov was forced to show A♠9♠ before he departed, which left Bokowski with a stack of almost 450,000!
