Chernikov's Double Gutshot Falls Short, Litasov Scoops a Big Pot
Level 2
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
PokerNews joined the action with the board showing 8♦10♦7♠. Aleksandr Chernikov checked first, and Vladimir Litasov seized the moment, betting 3,000 into an already decent pot. Chernikov quickly responded, raising to 11,000 without a second thought. Litasov shot back with an all-in, and Chernikov called right away, taking the hand to showdown.
Chernikov revealed 9♠5♠ for a double gutshot straight draw, while Litasov turned over A♣10♣ for a pair of tens.
The Q♥ on the turn and the 8♠ on the river didn’t complete Chernikov’s hoped-for straight, sending him to the rail as Litasov scooped up a sizable pot.
