Monster Pot Brewed Before Bubble

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The play has slowed down substantially due to the bubble nearing but that did not stop Mikhail Zavoloka from playing a monster pot.

Zavoloka raised from middle position to 12,000 and the player in the small blind three-bet to 28,000 and Zavoloka called. The flop came out 5610 and Zavoloka bet 28,000 and the small blind raised to 72,000 and was called.

On the turn 7 Zavoloka continued with the aggression and bet out 75,000 and the small blind thought it out carefully and folded. Zavoloka raked in a massive pot.
