Abakirov Leaves One Chip Back as Korochenskiy Pays Him Off
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Kubanychbek Abakirov three-bet to 18,000 in middle position and Anatoly Korochenskiy called from the blinds.
The flop came 4♣7♣10♠ and Abakirov bet 15,500. Korochenskiy called and both players checked the 3♦ turn.
The river was the 9♣ and Korochenskiy checked again. Abakirov then bet 68,000, leaving himself one 500 chip behind, and Korochenskiy snap-called.
Abakirov turned over 9♥9♠ for a rivered set and Korochenskiy mucked. Controversy then erupted over whether Abakirov was allowed to leave one chip in his stack. The floor was called over and his original bet stood.
