Eltsov Loses The Minimum
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/3,500, 3,500 ante
Oleg Eltsov raised from middle position to 7,500, and saw the cutoff three-bet to 22,500. The blinds folded, but Eltsov called.
On a 10♣10♠2♦ flop, the cutoff bet 20,000 chips. Eltsov responded with a check-call. Then, both players agreed on a check on the turn J♥. Finally, the river card was the Q♠. Eltsov checked for the third time. And after a moment of hesitation, another check came from the other side of the table.
Eltsov could have the win with A♦J♠, but the hijack revealed K♥K♦ and won the pot.
