Zakharets Eliminates Romanello, Doubles Spragg Up
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
In a pot of 25,500, Roberto Romanello checked the 2♣K♠3♦J♣ turn from early position to Ihor Zakharets in the hijack. Zakharets put his opponent all-in for just under the size of the pot, and Romanello called off after some thought.
Roberto Romanello: K♥Q♥
Ihor Zakharets: A♠A♣
Romanello failed to crack Zakharets' aces on the 2♥ river, sending Romanello to the exit.
The next hand, Zakharets raised to 2,500 in middle position. It folded to big blind Benjamin Spragg, who jammed in his stack of 15,200. Zakharets swiftly called.
Benjamin Spragg: A♦K♣
Ihor Zakharets: A♠7♠
Spragg flopped top pair on Q♠2♥K♠, but Zakharets contested with a flush draw. The 4♥ turn and 3♥ river remained free of spades, however, doubling up the PokerStars Ambassador.
