Sybirtsev Saved on the River
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Players were already on the 2♣3♠8♥9♣ turn with a pot of around 360,000.
Oleksandr Sybirtsev was all-in and at risk from under the gun for his remaining 725,000 and Shahar Levi covered from the cutoff.
Oleksandr Sybirtsev: 10♠8♠
Shahar Levi: A♣A♥
Levi was ahead, and it was looking like Sybirtsev was going to bust the tournament.
This all changed when the dealer peeled the 8♣ river to give Sybirtsev trip eights.
