We have lost our first WPT Champions Club member of Day Two.

There is a raise on the button, Bogdanov calls in the small blind and Barshak calls in the big.

Flop: [6x] [6x] [2x]

The action checks to the button who bets 3,000, Bogdanov calls, Barshak makes it 9,200, the button folds, Bogdanov makes it 20,000 and Barshak just calls.

Turn: [Jx]

Bogdanov leads for 13,000 and Barshak once again calls.

River: [Qx]

It’s all-in for the current WPT Venice champion and Barshak calls. At showdown, Bogdanov shows a sneakily played pair of aces. Barshak shows just what can happen when you play them this way because he has [6x] [5x].

Barshak ~ 160,000
