Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Everyone folded to the small blind, Artem Kotkovskyi, who raised to 39,000, only to be met with an all-in shove from Iurii Okolovich. Kotkovskyi asked for a count, and the dealer confirmed 231,000. After a moment, Kotkovskyi called, and they went to showdown.
Iurii Okolovich: A?K?
Artem Kotkovskyi: 10?10?
Okolovich needed the board’s help to stay in the tournament, and the flop delivered with J?K?K?, giving him trips. Now Kotkovskyi was the one needing help, but the 9? turn and 2? river didn’t come through. Okolovich secured a double-up leaving Kotkovskyi shaking his head about the outcome.
