Golenko Flips Out Pora
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Evgeniy Golenko opened the button to 20,000 and Dumitru Pora shoved from the small blind for around 200,000. When it got back to Golenko, he thought for a moment before he flicked in the call.
Dumitru Pora: A♥Q♥ 
Evgeniy Golenko: 9♥9♦
It was a classic coinflip and Golenko kept his lead after the 8♠10♥6♦ flop, which also improved him to a gutshot straight draw. A 7♣ on the turn completed his draw, which left Pora drawing to a chop. The J♦ river wasn't the nine he needed, and Pora was eliminated just after dinner.
