Saav Busts Short of the Money As Cherkashin Makes Good Call
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Richi raised to 12,000 from the cutoff before Saav moved all in from the small blind for 136,000. Andrei Cherkashin went into the tank before pushing over the top from the big blind. Richi had nearly folded out of turn and so wasn't too much of a concern. Saav and Cherkashin flipped their cards, with Saav at risk.
Saav: Q♣J♣ 
Andrei Cherkashin: A♣J♦
"Good call," said Jonathan Stoeber to Cherkashin.
The board ran out 10♣10♥7♥3♥3♠, so Cherkashin held with ace-high and the two pair on board. He won the pot and Saav was sent to the exit just a few players short of the money.
