Sheth's Ladies Go Up in Flames
Level 7
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ravi Sheth opened to 10,000 in the hijack, and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau responded with a three-bet to 30,000 on the button. When the action returned to Sheth, he moved all-in for 180,000 effective. Undeterred, Vaskaboinikau called.
As Sheth had Vaskaboinikau slightly covered, it was Vaskaboinikau at risk of elimination.
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: J♦9♣
Ravi Sheth: Q♠Q♣
Vaskaboinikau found some help on the 9♥8♦3♠ flop, but the 5♣ turn left him with just one more opportunity to find one of his five available outs.
Right on cue, the 9♦ landed on the river, improving him to trips and providing a double-up.
The altercation left Sheth with around 15,000, which he committed shortly after. Unable to survive that all-in, he headed to the rail.
