Iermolcheva Hits the Big-Bet Button

Livello 34 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action was opened under the gun by Adam Friedman to 80,000. Olga Iermolcheva was in middle position and called. The button called and the big blind defended.

The Q♦7♠2♥ flop hit the felt and Friedman continued for 135,000. Iermolcheva called and the other two players folded.

The 10♣ landed on the turn and Friedman slowed down and checked. Iermolcheva didn't think for long before putting out a large bet to the size of 400,000.

Friedman cut out the chips and thought for a moment but eventually he pitched his cards to the muck rather than calling.

Iermolcheva dragged a big pot without showdown.
