Shylko Gets a Fold From Lazaro With Two Chips Left

Andrew Knowles

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The action was picked up in a pot of roughly 250,000 on a flop showing A?K?9?. Rene Lazaro was under the gun and put most of his stack in preflop, but left 2,000 behind to sweat the pay jump. Aliaksandr Shylko in the cutoff didn't realize Lazaro had chips and tabled his hand.

Shylko had A?K? showing and after Lazaro checked, Shylko checked back. The tabled laughed as they knew how strong of a hand Shylko had. The 9? hit the turn and Lazaro checked again. Shylko tossed out 2,000 to put Lazaro at risk, who went deep in the tank.

After over a minute, Lazaro mucked his hand and kept 2,000 to see if he could spin it up on another hand. Unfortunately for Lazaro, he couldn't catch fire and was eliminated a couple hands later.
