Petersen Ready to Party
Alexander Petersen was having a discussion with Dominykas Karmazinas about bars to go to in Tallinn as he got involved in a pot with Filip Aleksic.
Aleksic bet 50,000 from the small blind on a flop of A♦6♣Q♥ and Petersen called in the big blind. Jorryt van Hoof, who had just been eliminated on another table, then came over to talk to Petersen.
"You should be thinking about the tournament, not about going out," Van Hoof said. The turn was the 10♦ and Aleksic bet another 275,000.
"In honor of my friend here, I'm going to make a crazy move," Petersen said, pointing to Van Hoof and moving all in for 495,000. Aleksic snap-called.
"That's not good. I shouldn't have slow-played," Petersen said, showing A♠Q♣9♥9♦. Aleksic had K♠J♣7♥4♥ for the nut straight, but the Q♦ river improved Petersen to a full house and earned him a miracle double up.
"Now for sure I'm going out," Petersen added.
