Iakobishvili Shoves River and Cheong Picks Him Off
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau raised to 5,000 from under the gun, Kyle Cheong called on the button and Gha Iakobishvili called in the big blind.
The flop came 7♠3♥8♣. Action checked to Cheong, who made it 5,000 to go. Iakobishvili called and so did Vaskaboinikau.
The turn was the 3♠. Iakobishvili led out for 22,500, Cheong called and Vaskaboinikau folded.
The river came the A♦. Iakobishvili pushed all in and Cheong made the call. Iakobishvili showed 7♣4♣ for two pair with his seven and the threes on board. Cheong tabled A♠5♠. He'd missed his flush draw but paired his ace on the river to win the pot.
Iakobishvili was eliminated from the tournament.
