No Sweat for Gurevich
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Gaston Gurevich check-raised all-in for roughly 19,000 from the big blind against a player in early position on a flop that read 6♣9♦K♠. The early position player called.
Gaston Gurevich: 8♠7♠
Early Position: K♣10♣
Gurevich was on a draw and his opponent held one of his outs.
However, Gurevich wouldn't have to wait long, as the 10♥ immediately fell on the turn, completing the straight.
Now, ironically, Gurevich would need to fade a ten (as well as a king) to avoid elimination, which is what he was able to do on the J♥ river, giving him the full double.
