Tsonev Scores a Double KO
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Andrew Smith raised it up from under the gun and Simeon Tsonev stuck in a three-bet from the cutoff. John Holley was in the big blind and within seconds, all three players had their chips in the middle. Smith was at risk for a little over 300,000, Holley was at risk for around 600,000 and Tsonev had them both covered.
Andrew Smith: A♣A♦Q♥J♣
John Holley: K♥K♦Q♦8♥
Simeon Tsonev: A♠K♠Q♠J♦
The top half of the deck was nearly all covered and the flop of 9♠3♠2♣ left Smith in the lead with his pocket aces. The 10♣ on the turn brought in plenty of draws and it was the 8♠ on the river that gave Tsonev a flush to score the double elimination.
