Bad Turn for Naydenov

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Razvan Scutaru opened to 22,000 from the cutoff and called when Simeon Naydenov jammed for 142,000 from the cutoff.

Simeon Naydenov: AK All in
Razvan Scutaru: AJ

Neydenov had Scutaru dominated and remained ahead following the A93 flop. However, the J turn gave Scutaru aces and jacks to take the lead. The 9 river was inconsequential and Neydonov showed his frustration as he left the table.
