Baryshnikov Spikes the River on Ialovega
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Stanislav Tishkevich raised to 80,000 under the gun and was called by Nikolay Baryshnikov in middle position, as well as Roman Ialovega on the button.
The flop came 7♦5♣J♣ and action checked to Ialovega who bet 125,000. Tishkevich folded, but Baryshnikov called to see the K♦ turn.
Ialovega then moved all in and Baryshnikov quickly called. Ialovega showed K♠J♠ for two pair while Baryshnikov had K♣Q♦ and needed help on the river.
He got it as the dealer turned over the Q♣. Ialovega shot out of his seat and began to head for the exit, but a recount showed Baryshnikov had 215,000 remaining, while Ialovega was left with just 200,000.
