James Uses Live Reads and Puts on His Cape Against Solovev
Bobby James limped in from the small blind and called when Kirill Solovev made it 7,000 from the from the big blind.
James check-called bets of 8,000 and 15,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read A♦7♣6♥A♥Q♦.
James, with around 100,000, behind, checked for a third time, and then went deep into the blender after Solovev moved all in for 34,500.
James asked for the pot to be spread while he mulled over his options, cutting out calling chips from his stack. Ultimately, he settled on a call and Solovev could only roll his eyes in frustration.
James tabled 8♣7♥ and Solovlev left his seat, leaving his cards face down. The dealer turned them over and revealed 9♦8♦.
James explained his call to PokerNews. Apparently, Solovev had just had aces cracked in a small pot in the previous hand and appeared tilted. James also commented on how Solovev was betting, almost splashing the pot each time. Additionally, some other live reads helped James make the light call.
James has had a fruitful time at EPT Cyprus, notching 19th and 12th place finishes in the Eureka Main Event and High Roller. Between the two deep runs, James also picked up a Spadie trophy after he triumphed in the $1,100 8-Game for $11,200.
