Leonov Doubles Up in a Timely Pre-Bubble Boost
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Action folded around to Serhii Leonov on the button, who saw his chance to double up and moved all in for his last 44,000. Allan Jakobsen, seated in the big blind, took a moment to weigh his options before deciding to call, setting up a showdown.
Serhii Leonov: K♦8♦
Allan Jakobsen: A♦J♥
With Jakobsen holding the advantage, Leonov needed help from the board. The flop delivered dramatically, running out Q♦K♠3♦ and giving Leonov a pair of kings.
The turn Q♣ and river Q♥ left the situation unchanged, securing Leonov the double-up and keeping him in the game just shy of the money bubble.
