Kirill Cut Down

Kirill Gerasimov opened the pot to 2,500 from early position and was met with a call from an opponent in the cutoff.

Gerasimov checked the {J-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop to see his opponent fire a bet of 8,000 at the pot. Gerasimov mulled over his decision a little before sliding a stack of orange 5,000-denomination chips into the pot; effectively putting his opponent all in.

His opponent made the call for his last 61,600 and the cards were tabled.

Gerasimov: {J-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

With Gerasimov in the lead with a flopped two-pair to his opponent's over-pair, flush and gutshot straight draws, Gerasimov would have to fade several cards in the deck.

The dealer would burn and turn the {10-Clubs} to see Gerasimov's opponent take the lead after making a king-high straight.

Gerasimov was unable to find another jack or nine to take the pot, or a king to chop, when the {Q-Spades} landed on the river to see his opponent double as Gerasimov slip to 48,800 in chips.
