Oleksii Kovalchuk
Oleksii Kovalchuk

Omaha-8

Mark Gregorich raised from the small blind, Oleksii Kovalchuk reraised from the big blind, and Gregorich called. The flop came {Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. Gregorich checked, Kovalchuk bet, Gregorich raised, and Kovalchuk called. The turn was the {6-Clubs}, Gregorich bet, and Kovalchuk called. The river was the {8-Spades}, and again Gregorich bet and Kovalchuk called.

"Ace-deuce," said Gregorich, tabling {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. Kovalchuk also had the nut low with {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, plus two pair for the high as well. Gregorich had been quartered, and Kovalchuk increased his lead.

A small rail of supporters cheered in support of the Ukrainian, with 2011 WSOP Main Event November Niner Anton Makiievskyi among them.
