Evdakov Steals Some of Leif Force's Life Force

Nikolay Evdakov
Nikolay Evdakov
A severly short-stacked Jonas Entin raised all in preflop and was called by Leif Force before Nikolay Evdakov raised the pot. Force called a second time.

Evdakov moved all in on the {Q-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} flop for his remaining chips. Since the bet was so small compared to the size of the pot, Force made a no-brainer call. Evdakov showed {A-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {7-Clubs} for a pair of aces with a gutshot straight draw. Entin had two pair, {4-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}, and Force had missed completely with {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {9-Hearts}. The turn {9-Clubs} improved nobody, but the river {A-Spades} give Evdakov the boss hand with three aces.

Evdakov now has 88,000 chips, and Force drops to 74,000. Entin was eliminated on the hand.
