Kostadinov Wins a Monster Off Rutherford
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
At Peter Jorgne's and Barny Boatman's table, Timothy Rutherford bet 60,000 on a board of A?7?3?Q? and Alexander Tkatschew called under the gun, as did Kostadin Kostadinov in early position.
The river was the 2? and Kostadinov bet 225,000. Rutherford then moved all in, Tkatschew folded, while Kostadinov snap-called for 441,000.
Rutherford turned over 3?3? for a set, but Kostadinov had 7?7? for a higher set to earn the massive double up. He looked up to the ceiling and let out a deep sigh of relief as the enormous pile of chips was pushed in his direction that moved him up into contention for the chip lead.
