Iermolcheva Turns a Set to Eliminate Paston
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Olga Iermolcheva opened from early position to 60,000 and got a call from Nathan Tang in the small blind and Matthew Paston in the big blind.
The A♦J♣2♦ flop was checked by all to the 7♥ turn. Tang checked and Paston bet 85,000. Iermolcheva called and so did Tang.
The 8♠ river was checked by the blinds and Iermolcheva bet 200,000. Tang folded and Paston called for his remaining 100,000 stack.
Matthew Paston: A♣10♦
Olga Iermolcheva: 7♠7♣
Iermolcheva quickly flipped over her pocket pair, hitting a set of sevens on the turn. Paston's pair of aces wasn't enough to save him and he was eliminated early in the day.
