Gurskiy Misreads Hand, Gets Eliminated

İgor Gurskiy opened to 12,000 from the button and Erik Cajelais made the call from the big blind.

The flop was {J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Cajelais check-raised all in against a 12,000 bet leaving the Russian with a decision for his last 60,000.

Gurskiy thought for a couple of minutes before calling all in.

Cajelais turned over {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and Gurskiy showed {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}, the {5-Spades} turn gave the Russian some extra outs but the {9-Diamonds} river wasn't one of them.

Afterwards Gurskiy muttered something in Russian as the other table looked on, presumably bemused by the ace-high call. Another Russian at the table explained, "He said he thought he had a flush draw with the {A-Hearts} and had misread his hand..."
