Novotny Wins Flip to Double Through Drusca
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Stefan Drusca opened to 700 from the hijack and was three-bet to 1,700 by Petr Novotny on the button. Niculina Grasu called cold from the big blind and Drusca four-bet to 5,800.
Undeterred, Novotny made it 12,000 to go, which got a fold from Grasu, but a shove from Drusca for enough to put Novotny all in for his last 28,100. Novotny called to put himself at risk and hands were revealed.
Petr Novotny: Q♠Q♦
Stefan Drusca: A♣K♣
It was a classic race, but the 9♠10♦J♦2♦10♣ runout kept Novotny's ladies best and he doubled up through Drusca.
