Alilovic Busts Erlandsson

Patrick Cole

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Action was picked up on the flop of Q♠10♥6♥ where Erlandsson was all in for around 17,500. Brandon Mifsud to his direct left tanked for a moment before open folding K♥J♥ and Alilovic made the call.

Hans Erlandsson: A♥Q♦ All in
Miroslav Alilovic: Q♥10♠

Erlandsson was drawing to an ace to make a better two pair, but Alilovic held through the 9♥ turn and 5♠ river. Mifsud folded what would have been the winner as he would've had a king high flush and a king high straight, either combination would have won him the pot. "You have a set so often" he said to his table mate.
