Pavlov Turns Straight, Sposato Gets Away
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Atanas Pavlov completed on the button with 10♣9♦, Gaspare Sposato raised to 1,000,000 from the big blind with A♦K♥ and Pavlov called.
The flop ran out 2♣Q♦K♠ and Sposato bet 750,000 with his pair of kings, which Pavlov called in position.
The turn was the J♥ and Sposato sized up to 1,800,000. Pavlov had made the straight and opted to raise it up to 4,200,000. Sposato went into the tank and then managed to get away from his hand, folding and conceding the pot but potentially saving his tournament life.
