Bronstein Runs Into It
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Aleksandr Shevlyakov made it 20,000 in middle position. Noah Bronstein three-bet to 55,000 in the hijack before Mohammad Bagheri four-bet all in for 223,000 in the cutoff.
Shevlyakov quickly folded, but Bronstein reluctantly called after some thought.
Mohammad Bagheri: A♠A♦
Noah Bronstein: A♣Q♠
Bronstein flopped a glimmer of hope on Q♥K♣8♠, but the 9♥ turn and 4♦ river remained devoid of queens.
"Unfortunate timing for that situation," Shaun Deeb, who had chipped up to be among the leaders in his section, commented as the pot was pushed to Bagheri.
"I know," Bronstein replied.
