Fokin Doubles Through Suvarna
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
In the hijack position, Valeriy Fokin pushed all in for his last 38,000 and got called by Santhosh Suvarna in the cutoff.
Valeriy Fokin: A♥J♥
Santhosh Suvarna: K♠J♠
Suvarna needed to improve his hand to knock Fokin out of the tournament. The flop came Q♠8♥10♣, giving Suvarna plenty of possibilities, but the turn was a 3♣ and the river a 5♥, which didn’t help him at all. Fokin doubled up, keeping his tournament hopes alive.
