Pyrkov Goes For it Against Neagoe

Level 1 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Darius Neagoe
Darius Neagoe

With around 25,000 in the pot on a J10Q9 board, Ilia Pyrkov fired out 18,000 from the hijack and Darius Neagoe called in the cutoff.

A 5 dropped on the river and after some thinking, Pyrkov shoved. Neagoe had just under 70,000 remaining and needed to put it all at risk if he wanted to take it to a showdown.

After thinking out loud for a while, Neagoe did call.

Pyrkov then revealed a missed flush draw with A4. and Neagoe's KJ was good for a straight.
