Khordbin Has Tricky River Decision
The action folded to Hadi Khordbin in the cutoff who raised to 2,500. He got called in one spot by Oleg Netaliev in the big blind.
The 8♠10♣3♥ flop quickly checked through and the dealer burned and turned the 4♣.
Netaliev opted to take the betting lead and wagered 3,500. Khordbin called on their way to Q♥ river.
After a few moments of thought Netaliev opted to fire one more shell in the form of 9,000 chips. Khordbin took off his sunglasses and examined the board as he attempted to make heads or tails of the situation.
Eventually he slammed in some chips and waited to see what he was up against. Netaliev tabled J♥7♣ for a missed gutter before Khordbin tabled K♥8♥ for just third pair. Luckily for him, third pair was good enough to scoop the pot.
