"Ma" Finds Deuce on the River to Double Through Razinkov
Level 35
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
When it folded to "Ma" in the small blind, he jammed for 5,325,000. Aleksandr Razinkov thought about it briefly before making the call for almost a fifth of his stack from the big blind
"Ma": A♦2♠
Aleksandr Razinkov: A♣6♠
Both had an ace, but Razinkov had the better kicker. Although the J♠8♥8♦ flop meant a chop was the most likely outcome. A 4♥ appeared on the turn, but the 2♣ came on the river to give "Ma" the best hand with a pair of deuces. Ma doubled up, much to the disappointment of the other short-stacks.
