Michalak and Kotkovskyi Smack the Flop, Gonzalez Drills Turn
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Artem Kotkovskyi opened to 8,000 from under the gun and was called by Jakub Michalak from the cutoff. Aimar Gonzalez put in his last 14,000 from the big blind, prompting Kotkovskyi to jam for around 300,000. Michalak immediately exhaled, but opted to put in stack of around 200,000.
Aimar Gonzalez: K?7?
Jakub Michalak: A?J?
Artem Kotkovskyi: 10?10?
The three players all picked up a bit of something on the A?J?10? flop. Gonzalez had a straight and flush draw while Michalak had top two pair. Kotkovskyi, however, remained ahead with a set of tens.
The 8? turn gave Gonzalez the flush, with the Q? river giving him an unnecessary straight for the main pot. Kotkovskyi took the much bigger side pot and eliminated Michalak.
