Fokin Valeriy takes a stand


Fokin Valeriy

Fokin Valeriy may be tabled with every player able to gobble up his short stack but he is certainly holding strong. He picked up two pots to stay in the running. His first win was a double up through Kashima Shinji with A K over A Q on a dry board.

Next pot, he raised to 7500, chip leader Shinji Sugeta three-bet to 19k, Valeriy shoved for an additional 38.5k to Sugeta, and Valeriy won it with the leader folding.
