Gorelik Busts First
Level 17
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
On the very first shuffle, the action folded to Guy Gorelik in the small blind, who shoved for 195,000. Iurii Okolovich called from the big blind.
Guy Gorelik: Q♥7♥
Iurii Okolovich: K♣J♣
Okolovich was ahead with king-high, although Gorelik had two live cards working for him.
Okolovich took a commanding lead on the J♥2♦2♣ flop by pairing his jack.
The 7♠ turn gave Gorelik some additional outs, but the 8♣ river was a brick, and Gorelik became the first player of the day to venture to the payout desk.
