Petrushevskii Finds Aces at the Right Time
Level 17
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Arsenii Karmatckii raised to 40,000 from the cutoff, and Orhan Ates jammed for around 340,000 from the button. Sergei Petrushevskii called for his remaining 229,000 from the big blind, which prompted Karmatckii to fold.
Sergei Petrushevskii: A♣A♦
Orhan Ates: A♠J♣
Petrushevskii woke up with the goods in the big blind and was able to fade the bad beat as the board ran out 7♣2♠5♠K♦J♦, leaving his aces as the best hand.
Petrushevskii doubled up, while Ates was left as one of the shortest stacks in the room with just two eliminations remaining before the money.
