Neves on a Short Stack
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
2023 PCA Main Event runner-up Pedro Neves is towards the bottom of the chip counts but tried to change that after raising to 1,000 from the cutoff. Sergei Bortsov opted to defend his big blind.
Bortsov check-called for 700 and 1,400 on the flop and turn for the final board to read 7♦6♥6♣J♥J♦. Action checked through to showdown and Bortsov tabled A♣10♠ for just ace-high (with the two pair on board). Neves checked his cards and threw them in the muck to concede the pot.
