Big Slick Does the Trick for Troyanovskiy
Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Vladimir Troyanovskiy raised to 90,000 from the button only to have chip leader Mike Watson three-bet to 240,000 from the small blind. Troyanovskiy responded by four-betting to 610,000, and Watson five-bet all in. Troyanovskiy snap-called off for 2.32 million total.
Troyanovskiy: 
Watson: 
It was a flip, but not after the flop came down 
to give Troyanovskiy trips. Neither the turn nor 
river was the black nine Watson needed, and he shipped over a big stack of chips to Troyanovskiy.
