Baranov Bullying Drexel on the River

Nov 15, 2012

Dennis Rasmussen is the first to enter the pot with a 7,000 raise from the hijack. Sergii Baranov calls in the small blind, before Thor Drexel squeezes to 24,000 from the big. Rasmussen releases his hand pretty quickly and Baranov makes an even quicker call.

Flop: [9h] [4c] [3c]

Baranov check-calls a 18,000 Drexel bet.

Turn: [Kc]

The same action ensues, this time for 33,000.

River: [5c]

Baranov slides a clean stack of blue chips across the line. It’s 100k and Drexel doesn’t want any part of it. He folds before showing the [Jd].

"You were way behind," says Baranov before allowing Drexel to pick a card. It was the [Qd].

Baranov ~ 540,000
Drexel ~ 190,000
