Alekseev Eliminated by Dray

Ryan Lashmar

Level 6 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Vladimir Alekseev opened from under the gun and Samuel Dray three-bet to 8,000 from middle position. Fabio Peluso called from the hijack before Alekseev four-bet shoved for 26,900. Both Dray and Peluso made the call.

The flop came K?J?8? and both Dray and Peluso checked, leading to the 6? turn. Dray bet 16,000 and Peluso snap-folded, leaving Alekseev at risk versus Dray.

Vladimir Alekseev: J?10? All in
Samuel Dray: K?K?

Dray was a massive favorite with top set while Alekseev could only hit running quads, a running straight or a running flush to survive. The A? river was of no help to Alekseev and he made his exit from the tournament area while Dray scooped the pot.
