Wantman Trips Up Vardanyan
Level 6
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Matthew Wantman opened the hijack to 23,000 and was called by Punnat Punsri in the cutoff, Jesse Lonis on the button, and Vardan Vardanyan in the big blind.
The A♠6♥5♣ flop checked through to the Q♠ turn, which saw Vardanyan check again to Wantman, who bet 35,000. Punsri and Lonis quickly folded while Vardanyan stuck in the call.
On the A♥ river, Vardanyan checked for a third time before Wantman announced a bet of 140,000. Vardanyan quickly called. Wantman tabled A♣9♦ and his trips were good to drag a sizeable pot.
