Bakovic Drills River for Massive Triple into Chip Lead
On a three-way limped family flop of 5♦4♦3♣, Brian Keith Etheridge led for 3,000,000 and was called by both Olegs Buiko and Alen Bakovic.
The turn came the 8♣ and Etheridge checked, Buiko bet the pot of 15,400,000, and Alen Bakovic moved all in for a slightly less amount of 13,400,000.
After some thought, Etheridge made the call to put both players at risk, the gold bracelet on the line.
Alen Bakovic: K♦J♦8♠3♥
Olegs Buiko: J♥7♥6♥5♠
Brian Keith Etheridge: K♥10♣4♣3♠
Buiko had the lead with his nut straight, but both of his opponents held two pair with opposing flush draws.
And just like that, the A♦ smacked down on the river to give Bakovic the nut flush to win the massive main pot while Buiko took the side with his straight.
Bakovic and his rail went wild as he was pushed the monstrous pot to rocket him into the chip lead.
