Kury Avoids Early Disaster
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Martin Kury and Igor Zolotukhin were heads up to the river on Q♥10♠5♥K♦8♣. With 7,500 chips already in the pot, Kury checked from middle position and Zolotukhin fired a bet of 2,700 from the next seat over.
Kury threw in an immediate call, after which Zolotukhin tabled Q♠Q♣ for a set of queens. Zolotukhin showed A♦K♥ for top pair, which was not good enough to take down the pot.
"What can I do?", lamented Kury, but thanks to the deep structure of the Main Event, he still had plenty of chips left to play with.
