Oleksii Kovalchuk's In The Towel

Oleksii Kovalchuk: Busted
Oleksii Kovalchuk: Busted

Oleksii Kovalchuk has a list of poker achievements as long as his arm but he will not be adding a WP Merit Cyprus Classic score to that list just yet because he has just busted out.

We caught up with Manig Loeser (who was seated with him) to find out what happened. Loeser told us Kovalchuk and Erik Cajelais were heads-up in a raised pot and both checked the {j-}{10-}{8-} flop that had two spades on it. They then checked the {5-} turn but the {10-Spades} river ignited the spark.

Cajelais check-raised all-in when Kovalchuk fired a bet at his Canadian opponent and Kovalchuk called with pocket queens, but was sent to the rail before the money places when Cajelais turned over {7-Spades}{4-Spades} for the flush.
