Dzivielevski Saved on the River
Level 7
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Aaron Mermelstein opened to 28,000 from early position before Yuri Dzivielevski jammed for 103,000 from middle position. Paul Esau called from the hijack, and Mermelstein also stuck around.
Mermelstein check-called for 60,000 on the 10♥8♥5♥ flop, but folded to a bet of 150,000 on the Q♣ turn. The cards then went on their backs.
Yuri Dzivielevski: A♦K♠
Paul Esau: J♦J♣
Esau was ahead with jacks, but Dzivielevski sealed the checkmark with the K♦ river giving him a better pair.
