Soncin Raises the Flop With Queens
Level 2
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Ezequiel Kleinman bet 10,000 from the button on a flop of K♥8♣2♠ and Artyom Smatyan raised to 37,000 in the big blind. Luigi Soncin then put in 55,000 from middle position, but it was ruled he had to make it at least 64,000.
He put in the extra chips and Kleinman quickly folded, but Smatyan stuck around to see the 7♥ turn. Both players then checked to the 4♣ river, where action was again quickly checked through.
Smatyan showed 10♥9♠ for just ten-high, while Soncin had Q♠Q♣ to win the pot.
