Shi Shoves into Aces; Poroliev Towers
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Ivan Poroliev opened to 16,000 on the button and Ruoxiao Shi three-bet to 42,000. Poroliev four-bet to 115,000 and Shi five-bet jammed for his entire ~230,000. Poroliev snap called and covered his opponent.
Ruoxiao Shi: J♦J♥
Ivan Poroliev: A♠A♣
Shi needed some help but missed on the 3♥Q♥10♦ flop. There was a sweat of the backdoor open-ended straight draw and heart flush but the 6♦ turn saw that hope come to an end.
A K♣ river wasn't enough to save him, and he hit the rail in 121st place, taking home the minimum cash of $4,004.
