Lots of Action on the Flop; Sidelkovskiy Then Goes Thin on the Turn

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Leonid Sidelkovskiy
Leonid Sidelkovskiy

Leonid Sidelkovskiy opened the cutoff to 22,000 before getting a call from both Vladas Burneikis in the small blind and Ming Xi in the big blind.

The 3?8?5? flop hit the felt and Burneikis quickly led out from the small blind for 25,000. Xi got out of the way and Sidelkovskiy raised to 65,000. Without thinking for more than a few seconds Burneikis clicked it back to 125,000. Sidelkovskiy held strong and put in the chips.

The J? rolled off on the turn and Burneikis slowed down and checked it over to Sidelkovskiy who went into the tank for a moment before putting out a bet of 85,000. Burneikis snap called.

The Q? landed on the river and finally the action slowed down and checked through.

Burneikis was first to show and tabled 8?4? for a flopped top pair. Sidelkovskiy tabled 9?9? for the better pair and scooped after withstanding the flop aggression and going thin for value on the turn.
