Petkov Forced to Fold the River Against Chernikov
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Lachezar Petkov had opened from under the gun and Aleksandr Chernikov called from the hijack. Mehmet Muratli also came along from the big blind.
They went to a flop of 4♥10♠J♠, which checked through to the 8♠ turn. Muratli checked, Petkov fired 50,000, Chernikov called, and Muratli folded.
An 8♣ paired the board on the river and Petkov fired out 125,000, then Chernikov shoved for around 400,000. Petkov had just over 150,000 chips remaining in his stack and after using several time-extensions, he elected to fold.
Chernikov then showed Q♦9♦ for a turned straight as he raked in the pot.
