Alekseev Loses Final Flip
Level 17
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Vladimir Alekseev open-jammed for 520,000 under the gun. Felipe Ketzer was on the button, and he called once the action had reached him.
Vladimir Alekseev: 8♠8♦
Felipe Ketzer: A♥Q♦
The flop brought Alekseev bad news; Ketzer paired up on A♣5♦5♣. No eights appeared on either the 7♦ turn or the 2♠ river, and Alekseev gave the table a few friendly knocks before heading to the payout desk.
