Kaukua Wins the Flip on the River, Ivanov Busts

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Toni Kaukua
Toni Kaukua

Zoran Marich made it 600 to go from early position and Nicolas Betbese called from the next seat. Alexander Ivanov then three-bet the hijack to 2,700, and Toni Kaukua cold four-bet on the button to 5,400. Marich folded with around 5,000 behind, Betbese got out of the way, and Ivanov shoved for around 12,000 total. Kaukua called.

Alexander Ivanov: QQ All in
Toni Kaukua: AK

It was an all-too-familiar coinflip and Ivanov was already standing up, either in preparation to leave or his usual ritual, but kept his advantage after the J34 flop. However, Kaukua found a great card with the 2 turn as he picked up a plethora of outs in both straight and flush draws to go along with his overcards. One of those outs appeared on the river as the K gave Kaukua a pair, sending Ivanov to the rail early on.
