Dray Drills the River to Crack Bogdanov's Bullets

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Alfred Nader jammed from early position for 13,000 with Giuliano Boellis calling from the next seat. Samuel Dray moved in for 81,500 from the hijack before Kristiyan Bogdanov jammed over the top for 155,000. This forced the rest of the table and Boellis to fold.

Alfred Nader: J10 All in
Samuel Dray: 55 All in
Kristiyan Bogdanov: AA

Bogdanov woke up with aces at the perfect time and unless an unfortunate runout came, he would send two players to the rail.

The Q42 flop came down followed by the 2 turn. Nader had already left the tournament area upon seeing he was drawing dead. Only a five on the river could save Dray, and to his surprise the 5 spiked on the river to give him a boat.

Dray more than doubled, up while Bogdanov was left stunned at having his aces cracked.
