Khmyrov Goes on Roller Coaster Ride
Daniil Khmyrov experienced a series of emotions in one single hand.
Khmyrov raised 1,500 in early position, and then saw a player two seats from him flat. A player in the small blind, though, three-bet all in. Khmyrov had the all in covered and called, which prompted the other player to fold.
With heads-up action in play, the cards were tabled.
Opponent: 7♠7♦
Daniil Khymyrov: 10♥10♠
Khymyrov appeared pleased to see he was ahead but let out an audible gasp in disgust when the dealer fanned 7♣2♥3♥ on the flop, giving his opponent a set.
Khymyrov’s mood improved to a large smile and a slight fist pump when 10♦ appeared on the turn, giving him a bigger set. Khymrov still had to dodge the last seven in the deck, and he took the hand when 9♥ arrived on the river.
