Tokoo Takes From Varkonyi
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Robert Varkonyi opened to 1,000 from middle position and found one caller in Shunsuke Tokoo in the big blind.
Tokoo check-called a 2,000 bet from Varkonyi on the 10♠4♥9♠ flop and then both players checked on the 5♦ turn.
The 8♦ completed the board and Tokoo led out for 3,000.
Varkonyi thought a while and decided to put in calling chips and Tokoo turned over J♣8♥ for a rivered pair of eights. Varkonyi couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Tokoo.
