Shovkovyi Scoops in Chip-Lead Pot! Green Exits
Alejandro Jauregui opened to 10,000, Alex Green raised to 45,000 and Vladyslav Shovkovyi called. Then Jauregui four-bet to 187,000 and after some thought, Green stuck the rest of his stack in for 200,000.
Then the action was on Shovkovyi, who tanked for almost two minutes before he moved all in for 209,000. Jauregui quickly called to put both players at risk and the hands were tabled in the chip-lead pot.
Alex Green: A♣K♣Q♦5♦
Vladyslav Shovkovyi: K♠J♦10♠9♥
Alejandro Jauregui: A♦A♥10♣6♠
Jauregui was in the lead with his aces, but the flop of 7♦6♥4♦ gave Green a flush draw. The turn A♠ further strengthened Jauregui's holding with top set, but a miracle 8♠ smacked down on the river to give Shovkovyi the gutshot for the nut straight!
He was then awarded the massive pot to propel him into the chip lead while Green headed to the exit and Jauregui was left short.
