Light Three-Bet Still Gets the Knockout
The hand began with an interesting dynamic as Stoyan Obreshkov was in the big blind and his remaining chips were just enough to cover both the big blind and ante. So before action had begun he was already all in and at risk.
There were a few folds before Leonid Orman opened the action in middle position to 22,000. Aleksandr Faterin called from the cutoff before action made it to Tom Vogelsang in the small blind. He took a moment and then gathered enough chips to put in a three-bet to 80,000. Both of his opponents thought it over but eventually folded.
Vogelsang was heads up going to a full board with Obreshkov all in and at risk.
Stoyan Obreshkov: J?10?
Tom Vogelsang: Q?J?
The full board ran out 6?2?K?3?7? and Vogelsang scored the knockout and the chips after using some well-timed aggression to get the pot heads-up.
