Serafimov Celebrates
Sergey Serafimov opened for 3,500 in early position and the player on the button reraised to 9,500. The player in the small blind flat-called, and it was back on Serafimov, who went all in. The button re-shoved, the small blind folded (he later claimed that he had folded pocket kings) and they were on their backs.
Serafimov:
Button gentleman:
Flop: - uh oh...
Turn: - we can only imagine that the guy who folded kings kicked himself, very briefly...
River: wait for it...
...
... !
Serafimov rivered a Broadway straight to stay in the game, and he went a bits nuts in the aisle with the shouting and the running around. He was issued with a one round penalty for excessive celebration, but when he returns it will be to a very healthy 160,000 stack.
