Milgrom Lucky to Get a Quarter on the River
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
After two limps in front of him, Tomasz Gluszko raised to 5,000 in the small blind and Nicolas Milgrom called in the cutoff.
The flop came 9♥7♣4♦ and Gluszko continued for 13,000. Milgrom called and the 8♠ fell on the turn.
Gluszko then moved all in and Milgrom took a few seconds before calling for his last 40,000. He showed A♥J♥6♥5♦4♥, while Gluszko had A♦J♣10♥5♣3♥ for a straight and low.
Gluszko was poised to scoop the pot until the 3♣ river gave both players the same low, earning Milgrom a quarter of the pot while Gluszko took three quarters.
"I escaped somehow," Milgrom said.
