Pertea Scores Massive Double Through Kovalski
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Marius-Catalin Pertea limped the small blind and was raised to 800,000 from the big blind by Fabiano Kovalski. Pertea then three-bet to 2,750,000 and Kovalski four-bet jammed for 7,700,000, slightly covering Pertea who snap called to put himself at risk.
Marius-Catalin Pertea: A?7?
Fabiano Kovalski: 8?8?
The flop came9?9?5? giving Pertea a flush draw, and the turn was the A? pairing his ace.
Kovalski would need an eight, but the 10? fell instead as Pertea doubled up to take the chip lead while Kovalski was left with fumes.
