Kanit Assumes Control

Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Philip Sternheimer defended his small blind against the under the gun raise of Alex Bilokur and then check-called 22,000 on the flop. On the
Sternheimer checked again, Bilokur made it 45,00 to go and then tank folded after the US boy check-raised to 130,000.
Just a few minutes later we saw Mustapha Kanit open to 20,000 from under the gun and he got called by four opponents. On the only Alex Bilokur called the continuation bet of Kanit for 41,000 and both checked the
turn. On the
river, Kanit fired 85,000 and that was enough to avoid a showdown.
