Zervos Bets Big on the River Against Soika
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ihar Soika bet 8,000 from under the gun on a flop of 5?3?5? and Bernhard Binder called in the cutoff. Alexios Zervos then raised to 35,000 in the big blind, Soika called, while Binder got out of the way.
The turn was the 4? and Zervos bet 42,000. Soika again called and the 10? fell on the river.
Zervos then bet 135,000, sending Soika deep into the tank. A tablemate eventually called the clock after nearly five minutes and Soika folded.
"Big fold?" Zervos asked him and Soika shook his head.
"No," Zervos said in disbelief.
"Ace-high," another tablemate added.
