Ace-High Good For Kovalski in Big Pot
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Fabiano Kovalski raised to 12,000 in the hijack before Ahmed Karrim three-bet to 36,000 on the button. Kovalski called and they went heads-up to the K♥Q♥2♦ flop.
Karrim continued for 37,000 and Kovalski called. The turn was the 10♠ and Karrim bet another 115,000. Kovalski used two time banks before calling again as he checked over to Karriim on the 4♦ river.
Karrim checked back this time and Kovalski turned over A♥7♥. Karrim mucked and Kovalski's ace-high earned him the big pot.
