Chernikov Flops a Wheel-y Good Hand, Doubles Through Cotescu
Level 13
: Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante
Sandra Cotescu had opened from the hijack and Aleksandr Chernikov called from the big blind.
They went to a flop of 2♠5♦A♣ where Chernikov checked and Cotescu continued with a bet of 5,000. Chernikov then min-raised to 10,000, and Cotescu called.
A 2♥ paired the board on the turn and Chernikov fired out a bigger bet of 25,000, and after a few moments, Cotescu flicked in a white chip, worth 25,000.
When the 8♣ completed the runout, Chernikov stacked his chips into one tower, and slid all 37,500 of them into the middle. Cotescu thought for just a second before she made the call.
Chernikov then rolled over a flopped straight with 4♥3♥, and Cotescu's A♥J♣ was revealed before it was sent into the muck.
