Unexpected Double-Up for Seman
Nível 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Amiel Gamliel kicked off the hand with a raise to 27,000 from under the gun. Vitalii Seman, in early position, responded by shoving his remaining 137,000 chips, and Jesper Hansen, sitting in the cutoff, followed suit, jamming for 288,000. With the decision back on Gamliel, he asked the dealer for a count but ultimately folded his hand, sending it to a heads-up showdown.
Vitalii Seman: K♠J♠
Jesper Hansen: A♥K♥
Hansen looked confident as the flop came down 3♦10♥9♦, though Seman now had a straight draw in play.
The 4♦ on the turn didn’t change things for Seman, and he seemed ready to walk, but the river brought the Q♦, completing his straight. Seman doubled up, staying alive in the tournament, while Hansen was left with a short stack.
