Bolotin Bounces One

With the board showing {4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}{A-Hearts} and just 125 in the middle, Alex Bolotin made an oversized bet of 350, and his short-stacked opponent called with his last 200 chips. Bolotin showed {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and was drawing thin against his opponent's {K-Hearts}{k-Spades}.

But thin was enough, as the river brought the {3-Spades}, giving Bolotin the straight and knocking out his opponent. No less than two players afterwards claimed they'd folded treys, meaning Bolotin was apparently drawing even thinner.

Bolotin has 3,100 now.
