Chernikov Flops a Wheel-y Good Hand, Doubles Through Cotescu

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante
Aleksandr Chernikov
Aleksandr Chernikov

Sandra Cotescu had opened from the hijack and Aleksandr Chernikov called from the big blind.

They went to a flop of 25A 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 43, and Cotescu's AJ was revealed before it was sent into the muck.
