Shteyn Gets Away as Guven Busts Trofimov

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Akin Guven bet 25,000 from the hijack on a flop of {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Anatoly Shteyn called in the cutoff. From the small blind, [Removed:510] shoved for 225,000.

Guven asked for a count before calling Trofimov's shove. Shteyn then spent several minutes in the tank before he slid his cards back to the dealer.

Trofimov had top pair with {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}, but Guven had him out-kicked with {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}. The board ran out {10-Spades}{9-Spades} and Trofimov hit the rail.

"Dragos, Dragos, Dragos," Shteyn repeated after the hand, still thinking about his fold.
