Shcherbakov Puts the Pressure On
Kirill Shcherbakov is absolutely relentless when he plays a pot and just turned up the aggression a few notches in a hand against Atanas Malinov.
Malinov had opened from the cutoff to 200,000 and Shcherbakov three-bet to 700,000 from the big blind. Malinov called to see a flop of [3cahd], where Shcherbakov bet 200,000 and Malinov called.
An 8♣ on the turn saw another bet from Shcherbakov, this time for 550,000. Once again, Malinov called.
When the 2♠ landed on the river, Shcherbakov committed his stack to the pot and Malinov, with around 1,300,000 behind, went into the tank. After using some extra time, Malinov elected to fold, and Shcherbakov took the pot.
"You like to put on the pressure, huh?" joked Johnny Lodden to Shcherbakov, who responded with a smile.
