Voronin Drills the River to Bust Esau
Level 5
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Paul Esau raised to around 2,500 from middle position and Konstantin Voronin called in the hijack, with the big blind also coming along.
All three players checked the 4♣7♣10♦ flop before the 6♥ hit the turn. When action checked to Esau, he bet 6,800, and only Voronin called.
The A♦ fell on the river and Esau checked. Voronin moved all in, putting Esau at risk for his last 26,000, and Esau made the call.
Voronin tabled A♣8♠ for a rivered pair of aces to win the pot and send Esau to the rail, as Esau revealed K♣K♥ for a pair of kings.
