Kovalenko Eliminated by Kushnerov

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Denis Kushnerov
Denis Kushnerov

Denis Kushnerov opened the button and Pavel Kovalenko and [Removed:464] called in the small and big blinds respectively.

The dealer laid {q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} on the flop and after two checks, Kushnerov continued for 15,000. Only Kovalenko called and the duo went heads up to the turn.

It came the {k-Spades} and Kovalenko checked again. Kushnerov barreled for 35,000 and Kovalenko counted out his chips. After some time in the tank he moved all in for another 29,000 on top and it was a quick call from Kushnerov.

Kovalenko turned over {q-Spades}{10-Spades}, which was ahead on the flop until Kushnerov hit a better pair with {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} on the turn. Kovalenko had a flush draw for some extra equity but the {j-Hearts} river didn't improve him and he hit the rail.

Kushnerov had a decent stack prior to this hand but is now up there with the best of them.
