Straight For Kovalchuk

Ionel Anton raised to 80,000 on the button and Oleksii Kovalchuk re-raised to 250,000 and Anton called.

The flop was {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{5-Hearts} and both players checked. The turn was {q-Hearts} and Kovalchuk checked. Anton bet out 300,000 and Kovalchuk called.

The river was the {a-Clubs} and Kovalchuk bet out 700,000. Anton slowed down here but eventually made the call and Kovalchuk showed {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for the rivered straight. Kovalchuk is still down to Anton but is back up to 4,250,000
