Kusumoto Felts Ievchenko
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Cards were on their backs with the board reading 7?5?4? with Oleksii Ievchenko at risk from the button versus Ryoki Kusumoto in early position.
Oleksii Ievchenko: A?J?
Ryoji Kusumoto: 8?4?
Ievchenko would need to improve his ace-high to survive, and did so on the A? turn. The card gave Kusumoto an added flush draw to go with his pair and straight draw though.
The river brought the 8?, giving Kusumoto a winning two pair of eights and fours to snatch back the pot as he threatens to end the night among the chip leaders.
