Iskandarov Shoves on Binder; Tsiareshchanka Doubles Off Gavrilovich

Nível 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Rashad Iskandarov bet 5,800 from the cutoff on a board of 10♦A♠J♣A♦ and Bernhard Binder called in the big blind.

The river came the K♣ and Iskandarov moved all in. Binder, with around 8,000 remaining, tanked for several minutes until the clock was called. He eventually folded as Iskandarov took the pot.

Meanwhile, at Patrick Tardif's table, Yauheni Tsiareshchanka bet 2,500 from under the gun on a flop of A♦3♣8♦ and Jenya Gavrilovich called in the big blind.

The turn came the K♠ and Tsiareshchanka continued for another 6,000. Gavrilovich again called to see the 9♦ river and led out for 14,000.

Tsiareshchanka then moved all in for 19,500 and Gavrilovich called with A♥9♣ for two pair. Tsiareshchanka, though, had K♦J♦ for the rivered flush to win the pot and double up.
