Petrushevskii Extends Lead in Massive Pot With Double Elimination
Adrian State pushed all in for 155,000 from under the gun and Sergei Petrushevskii called in middle position. Guy Gorelik then moved all in with a big stack of over 600,000 from the big blind. Petrushevskii immediately looked him up to put both players at risk in the biggest pot of the day.
Adrian State: A♣9♣
Guy Gorelik: J♦J♥
Sergei Petrushevskii: A♥A♠
Petrushevskii had picked up pocket aces, leaving both of his opponents drawing very thin. State picked up a flush draw on the 3♥7♣Q♣ flop, but found no help on the Q♦ turn.
The river came the 4♥ and Petrushevskii held, sending State and Gorelik to the exit with just a few players left to bust before the money. Petrushevskii, meanwhile, raked in a huge pot that further extended his chip lead to over 2,000,000.
