Kokoulin Runs Down Kings
Level 22
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Davit Mikhanashvili limped on the button with A♠9♠6♦5♣, and Marek Uharcek raised to 200,000 in the small blind with K♥K♣Q♦2♠. Volodymyr Kokoulin called in the big blind holding A♥8♣7♠5♥, and Mikhanashvili also made the call.
Uharcek continued for 200,000 on the 4♦6♥Q♣ flop, with Mikhanashvili folding and Kokoulin sliding in a call. The 10♣ turn produced checks from both players, and the dealer revealed the 8♦ river.
Uharcek checked again, and was quickly facing a bet of 325,000 from Kokoulin with his straight. Uharcek let his hand go, and Kokoulin raked in the pot.
