Tsoukernik Bailed Out by the River
Nível 17
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Leon Tsoukernik opened to 120,000 from the cutoff and Alex Foxen defended his big blind.
On the A♥5♣2♣ flop, Foxen checked, and Tsoukernik continued for 120,000. Foxen made it 350,000 and snap-called when his opponent moved all in for 1,850,000.
Leon Tsoukernik: A♣7♣
Alex Foxen: A♦2♦
The pot swelled to 4,000,000, and Foxen was in front with aces and deuces, while Tsoukernik had a pair of aces and the nut flush draw. The A♠ turn filled Foxen up, but Tsoukernikl still had chopouts and could draw to a bigger boat. The 5♥ river meant the pot was shared, and Tsoukernik avoided disaster on the final table bubble.
