Lyubovetskiy Sends Fokin Packing
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Everyone folded to Andriy Lyubovetskiy in the small blind, leaving Valeriy Fokin in the big blind with just 45,000 behind. Lyubovetskiy decided to shove all in, and Fokin, after a quick look at his cards, made the call.
Valeriy Fokin: A?8?
Andriy Lyubovetskiy: Q?3?
Fokin was ahead and likely eyeing a double-up, but the 7?9?Q? flop brought a queen, giving Lyubovetskiy the lead. The Q? on the turn sealed the deal, and with Fokin drawing dead, the 5? on the river was just a formality as Fokin was eliminated.
