Unlucky Exit for Kovalchuk
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Hacine Chatteur tossed in a T-25,000 chip from the button for a raise before Olekssi Kovalchuk three-bet jammed his final 85,000 in from the small blind. Chatteur took a while but eventually called.
Oleksii Kovalchuk: A♦K♦
Hacine Chatteur: A♥5♥
Kovalchuk got his phone out to film the affair, but little did he know he would end up filming his demise. The 5♦3♥10♠ paired Chatteur up, and he would remain the only player doing so when the board ran out 4♥J♣.
Kovalchuk took his bad beat in good spirits and wished everyone good luck before leaving the table.
