Unlucky Runout Eliminates Khatskevich
A hand that required about half the table to take pictures and left Maryna Khatskevich gasping for air just took place on table 19.
Ariel Puterman opened for 5,800 before Khatskevich three-bet to 12,000. The action folded back to Puterman, who four-bet jammed effectively covering the around 38,000 in chips Khatskevich had behind and she snap-called.
Puterman:
Khatskevich:
Khatskevich looked good to double-up and looked even better after both players nailed sets on the flop. However, the entire table appeared stunned after the spiked the turn to give Puterman quads.
Khatskevich was unable to get her case ace after the completed the board on the river. The dealer paused the hand for a moment so she and others at the table could take photos.
One player's bad luck is another player's fortune. Nobody at the table could fault Puterman for getting it in when he did and now he is among the chip leaders in the Day 1b field with a stack of 134,000.
