Fadeev's Lucky River
Level 35
: 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Przemyslaw Szymanski opened the action with A?J? under the gun, raising to 600,000. Dmitrij Fadeev, holding A?K? in the cutoff, decided to call. Then Viorel Gavrila, sitting in the small blind with pocket jacks J?J?, went all in, putting the pressure back on Szymanski. He chose to fold, but Fadeev quickly snapped and called the all-in.
The flop came down 7?3?2?, leaving Fadeev in a precarious position as it didn’t improve his hand.
The turn brought the 8?, which wasn’t the help he was looking for.
However, the A? on the river gave him the crucial better pair he needed, allowing Fadeev to double up and stay in the game.
