Marjanovic Puts Vavilonskii in the Blender

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Adem Marjanivic

Adem Marjanovic opened to 3,500 from the hijack and Andrei Vavilonskii defended from the big blind.

The flop came 1032 and Vavilonskii check-called a 6,500 continuation bet from Marjanovic.

Vavilonskii check-called another bet on the K turn, this time for 30,000.

The river was the 6. Marjanovic checked and Vavilonskii moved all in, covering Vavilonskii's remaining stack of roughly 91,000. Vavilonskii went into the tank.

"Why so nervous? You like to talk, let's talk" Vavilonskii said to Marjanovic, trying to get a read on his opponent. Marjanovic did not repliy, and covered the lower half of his half of his face with his shirt while Vavilonskii went over his decision.

"My hand is pure call, call fold" Vavilonskii continued. "But now I want to hero call. Do you like this idea?". Marjanovic still chose not to reply.

"It's the king of situation where you can bluff with the best hand" Vavilonskii lamented before finally sending his cards into the muck, allowing Marjanovic to take down a sizable pot without showdown.
