Barka Leaves Tishkevich Short after Brutal Turn
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/3,500, 3,500 ante
Monika Zukowicz opened to 7,000 from early position and Stanislav Tishkevich three-bet to 21,000 from middle position. Samy Barka called in late position and Zukowicz got out of the way.
Tishkevich fired an 18,000 continuation bet on the A♦8♥6♦ flop that was called by Barka.
On the 9♠ turn Tishkevich checked and Barka bet 100,000 into the 90,000 pot. Tishkevich moved all in for roughly 225,000 and Barka, who was slightly covered, made the call.
Samy Barka: 9♣9♥
Stanislav Tishkevich: A♦K♠
Tishkevich had flopped top pair but Barka had turned a set of nines leaving Tishkevich drawing dead. The 10♦ river was a formality after which Barka scored a full double up through Tishkevich who was left with under ten big blinds.
