Mitrione Denied a Double on the River
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Daniil Kiselev raised to 900 under the gun before Jack Salter three-bet to 2,700 next to act. The action folded to Michael Mitrione on the button who moved all in for 7,200 and Kiselev got out of the way. Salter, though, called to put him at risk.
Michael Mitrione: A♥Q♦
Jack Salter: A♠5♠
Mitrione had Salter dominated as the flop came A♦9♠9♣. Kiselev then revealed he folded two fives, meaning Salter was only drawing to a chop.
The J♣ turn kept Mitrione in the lead, but the K♥ on the river gave both players aces and nines with a king-kicker to chop the pot.
"Miracle," Kiselev said.
"He could've hit running fives," tablemate Matthew Wantman added.
"No. I folded two fives," Kiselev replied.
