Max Pressure from Yugay
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Alexey Popov opened to 28,000 from middle position and Victor Yugay three-bet to 110,000 from the small blind. Popov made the call.
Yugay fired an 82,000 continuation bet on the 8?8?8? flop which was called by Popov.
On the J? turn Popov called another bet from Yugay, this time for 215,000.
The river was the 3? and Yugay bet again for 515,000, leaving just 82,000 behind. Popov took his time to consider the options but ultimately decided to fold, allowing Yugay to take down a colossal pot without showdown.
