Right Hand, Right Time
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Arsenii Karmatckii limped in from the small blind, and Aleksei Gortikov raised to 175,000 in the big blind. After some time spent considering a response, Karmatckii moved all in, and Gortikov snap-called.
Gortikov had the smaller of the two stacks with 530,000 and, as such, was the player at risk.
Aleksei Gortikov: A♠A♦
Arsenii Karmatckii: A♣Q♣
Gortikov had to endure a slight sweat, as the J♣Q♥2♠ flop gave Karmatckii some hope. However, the 8♥ turn and J♥ river were bricks, giving Gortikov a full double-up.
