Nazarenko Hits the Rail
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Ludovic Geilich made it 2,100 from early position and Steven Forman called on the button. Ruslan Nazarenko potted it to 9,300 from the button, which got called by both players.
Geilich checked the K♣6♠4♠ flop and Forman bet the size of the pot. Nazarenko called for his last 18,000, and Geilich folded.
Ruslan Nazarenko: A♣A♦K♥6♣
Steven Forman: K♠Q♠8♦7♦
Nazarenko had flopped top two pair, but Forman had a lot of outs with two cards to come. The rest of the board came 5♥Q♣ to give Nazarenko the winner with a straight on the turn, sending Nazarenko to the rail.
