Pritsak Shoves into Juanda's Cowboys
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Oleh Pritsak raised to 40,000 from middle position and John Juanda three-bet the small blind to 110,000. Pritsak looked across the table at the Poker Hall of Famer, then, without shifting his gaze, four-bet ripped it in for about 475,000. Juanda quickly called with the covering stack.
Oleh Pritsak: 5♥5♣
John Juanda: K♠K♥
Pritsak had run into Juanda's premium pocket pair and needed a five to survive.
The 9♦A♠Q♠ flop was no help to Pritsak, and neither was the 8♣ turn.
The 9♠ river was safe for Juanda's cowboys, and Pritsak became the newest addition to the rail.
