Small Pot With Kings For Iermolcheva

Maxime Taldir

Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Edgard Raffoul opened from under the gun to 5,500 and received a quick call from Olga Iermolcheva seated on his left. All the other players folded, and a 7♣2♥A♥ flop was revealed by the dealer.

Both players checked this first street, then Raffoul bet 6,000 on the turn 9♥. Iermolcheva called once again before checking back on the river 2♦.

Raffoul showed 4♦4♣ and hoped it would be the winning hand. But it was not, as Iermolcheva flipped a tricky K♦K♠.
