Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Ivaylo Sivinov opened to 5,000 from the button and Georgios Vakis defended from the big blind.
Both players checked the A?5?J? flop leading to the A? turn. Vakis checked, Sivinov bet 5,000 and Vakis made the call.
Vakis checked again on the 8? river and Sivinov bet 14,500. Vakis raised all in for 32,000 total and after briefly considering his options Sivinov decided to call.
Sivinov revealed 9?9? while Vakis tabled A?2? for trip aces to secure the full double up.
