Volzhan Misses Straight Draw, Kovalev Benefits
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
There were around 18,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 6♦J♣8♥ when Anton Kovalev bet 7,500. Edwin Volzhan then shoved his stack into the middle, which got Egor Ivanov to fold. Kovalev thought for some time before he eventually made the call for almost 30,000 total.
Anton Kovalev: K♣J♠ 
Edwin Volzhan: 10♠9♠
Kovalev didn't seem to happy to make the call but would have been delightful upon seeing the hand of his opponent. Volzhan needed a queen or an seven to earn the knockout but neither the 3♣ turn nor 9♣ river could deliver what he needed, and Kovalev doubled up.
