Two in a Row for Sikora
With the board reading 9?J?10?5? and about 4,000 already in the middle, Narciso Burlo checked and Mateusz Sikora bet 3,000, receiving a call from his opponent.
Both players checked the 9? river. Burlo tabled 5?3? for a pair of fives and missed flush draw while Sikora tabled J?6? for a flopped top pair to take the pot.
The very next hand at the same table, Sikora opened to 500 from middle position and Paul Vincent three-bet to 2,500 from the cutoff. Sikora put in a four-bet to 7,500 and Vincent made the call.
The flop came J?9?9?. Sikora bet 5,000 and was called by Vincent.
Both players checked through the 3? turn leading to the 7? river. Sikora moved all in, covering his opponent's remaining stack of about 28,000. After some brief consideration Vincent folded 10?10? face up and Sikora took down a sizable pot without having to go to showdown.
