Lucina Holds with Aces to Chop Down Gerdshikow
Level 21
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Alexander Gerdshikow opened to 21,000 from the hijack and Sebastien Lucina raised to 80,000 from the button. Gershikow responded with a pot-sized four-bet, enough to put Lucina all in for his 251,000 stack. Lucina snap-called and was at risk.
Sebastien Lucina: A?A?J?5?
Alexander Gerdshikow: A?K?Q?2?
Lucina was in good shape to double up with his aces but the 8?7?2? flop gave Gerdshikow the nut-flush draw to ensure there was a sweat. Lucina faded the 6? turn and 7? river to collect a colossal double up at Gerdshikow's expense.
