Denti Back-Raises Light, Ievchenko Benefits
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Julien Sitbon opened to 500 and got a call from Jacopo Denti in the next seat. Oleksii Ievchenko then three-bet to 2,200, which got Sitbon to fold, but Denti back-raised all-in for 12,700. Ievchenko snap-called.
Jacopo Denti: 3♣3♦ 
Oleksii Ievchenko: Q♣Q♦
Even the suits of Denti were covered by the superior hand of Ievchenko, and the 9♣J♥10♥ flop gave the Ukrainian player an open-ended straight draw. A 7♠ on the turn eliminated any slim hope of a chop, and the 7♥ river confirmed Denti's departure.
