Fadeev's Lucky River
Level 35
: 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Przemyslaw Szymanski opened the action with A♣J♦ under the gun, raising to 600,000. Dmitrij Fadeev, holding A♥K♥ in the cutoff, decided to call. Then Viorel Gavrila, sitting in the small blind with pocket jacks J♥J♣, went all in, putting the pressure back on Szymanski. He chose to fold, but Fadeev quickly snapped and called the all-in.
The flop came down 7♦3♥2♠, leaving Fadeev in a precarious position as it didn’t improve his hand.
The turn brought the 8♥, which wasn’t the help he was looking for.
However, the A♦ on the river gave him the crucial better pair he needed, allowing Fadeev to double up and stay in the game.
