Lijo Picks Right Time to Three-Bet
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Artsiom Lasouski raised to 50,000 in the cutoff. Chakib Mhiri flat-called on the button before Lander Lijo made it 225,000 to go in the small blind. Lasouski quickly got rid of his 7?5? but Mhiri put Lijo all-in for 840,000.
Lijo snap called and a showdown was ordered.
Lander Lijo: K?K? 
Chakib Mhiri: J?J?
Lijo took an even more commanding lead on the 8?K?9? flop, and his set had Mhiri's jacks drawing dead on the 3? turn. The 8? river was rendered meaningless as Lijo doubled up and overtook Mhiri in the counts.
