Tkatschew Gets River Value
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Action picked up on the river in a three-way pot. The board showed 
. Gerard Carbo was already all in on a previous street, so there was a side pot in play. About 40,000 sat in both the main and side pots.
From middle position, Alexander Tkatschew bet 11,000, almost 15 percent pot. Simon Mattsson was the player with action on the side. On the button, he thought for a couple minutes before making the call with about 60,000 in his stack. All three hands were showed with Carbo all in.
Gerard Carbo: 
Simon Mattsson: 
Alexander Tkatschew: 
Tkatschew was able to squeeze out some river value with his pair of eights and knocked out Carbo in the process.
