Bolotin Drops Some

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Alex Bolotin opened to 400 from middle position, a player in the cutoff seat called, and Jeff Madsen called out of the big blind. The flop fell {5-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}, and Madsen checked to Bolotin who continued for 600. The player in the cutoff raised to 1,600, Madsen released, and Bolotin called.

The turn was the {k-Diamonds}, and Bolotin checked. His opponent tossed out two yellow T1,000 chips, and Bolotin called.

Both players checked on the river (we missed the card) and Bolotin's opponent opened up {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a pair of tens. They were good.
