Kaukua Wins the Flip on the River, Ivanov Busts
Zoran Marich made it 600 to go from early position and Nicolas Betbese called from the next seat. Alexander Ivanov then three-bet the hijack to 2,700, and Toni Kaukua cold four-bet on the button to 5,400. Marich folded with around 5,000 behind, Betbese got out of the way, and Ivanov shoved for around 12,000 total. Kaukua called.
Alexander Ivanov: Q♠Q♣ 
Toni Kaukua: A♦K♥
It was an all-too-familiar coinflip and Ivanov was already standing up, either in preparation to leave or his usual ritual, but kept his advantage after the J♦3♠4♦ flop. However, Kaukua found a great card with the 2♦ turn as he picked up a plethora of outs in both straight and flush draws to go along with his overcards. One of those outs appeared on the river as the K♣ gave Kaukua a pair, sending Ivanov to the rail early on.
