Angelov Hero-Calls River With Small Pair
Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Action folded around to Boris Angelov, who completed the small blind with A♥4♥. Aleksandr Shevliakov raised to 420,000 from the big blind with Q♦6♣ and Angelov called.
The flop came 2♣3♣10♥ and Angelov checked. Shevliakov continued for 240,000 and Angelov called.
The 4♣ turn gave Angelov a pair to go with his gutshot draw and he checked again. Shevliakov fired out 500,000 and Angelov called.
On the 7♥ river, Angelov checked and Shevliakov used two time banks before firing a third barrel of 800,000.
Angelov went into the tank before making a heroic call with his pair of fours to win the pot, scooping in the 4,040,000 chip pot and thinning the gap between himself and current chipleader Shevliakov.
