Senno’s Jacks Bite the Dust as Vikayev Wins the Flip

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

Adlan Vikayev made it 3,500 to go from under the gun, and Stanislaw Grodek fired back with a three-bet to 10,000 from the hijack. Fredrico Senno wasn’t about to fold his hand quietly, putting in a four-bet to 25,000 from the button. Vikayev, with all guns blazing, then five-bet to a hefty 150,000. Grodek quickly got out of the way with 55,000 behind, but Senno wasn’t backing down and shoved for just over 150,000. Vikayev shrugged and made the call.

Fredrico Senno: JJ
Adlan Vikayev: AK

Senno’s pocket jacks were holding strong, but he still needed to dodge plenty of outs to avoid getting bucked off this hand. The 24Q flop kept him ahead, though the 3 on the turn gave Vikayev a wheel draw, making any five good for a straight.

The river was the K, and just like that, Vikayev roped in a bigger pair to scoop the biggest pot of the day so far, sending Senno packing.
