Max Pressure from Yugay
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Alexey Popov opened to 28,000 from middle position and Victor Yugay three-bet to 110,000 from the small blind. Popov made the call.
Yugay fired an 82,000 continuation bet on the 8♠8♥8♦ flop which was called by Popov.
On the J♠ turn Popov called another bet from Yugay, this time for 215,000.
The river was the 3♠ and Yugay bet again for 515,000, leaving just 82,000 behind. Popov took his time to consider the options but ultimately decided to fold, allowing Yugay to take down a colossal pot without showdown.
