Contrasting Characters

Feb 21, 2013

Tomaz Kogovsek and Andrey Shatilov look like they are two worlds apart. Kogovsek slender, spectacled and skinny; Shatilov broad, brass and bold. But although their physical stature may be different, there is nothing separating their poker playing stature.

The action has found its way to a raising war between the WPT National Series Champion, Tomaz Kogovsek, seated on the button, and Andrey Shatilov seated in the small blind. Kogovsek opens, Shatilov three-bets from the small blind, that’s greeted with a four bet before Shatilov calls.

Flop: [Jd] [5h] [4s]

Shatilov taps the felt, Kogovsek bets 5,700, Shatilov check-raises to 12,400; Kogovsek makes it 21,000 and Shatilov folds. Kogovsek very confidently flips over [Ac] [Td] for the bluff and rakes in the pot.

Kogovsek ~ 98,000
Shatilov ~ 144,000
