Derkowski Finds an Out
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Qiang Xu limped in from the cutoff, and Grzegorz Derkowski announced pot on the button, for a bet totalling 90,000. Brandon Shack-Harris called from the big blind, and Xu did the same.
On a flop of A♥6♠10♥, Xu potted when checked to, and Derkowski called all-in for his remaining 125,000. Shack-Harris made the fold.
Grzegorz Derkowski: K♥Q♦J♥J♠
Qiang Xu: A♦7♦6♦4♣
Derkowski's pocket jacks were behind to Xu's two pair, but had plenty of outs with an inside wrap as well as a royal draw. The 7♣ turn improved Xu slightly and took away an out for Derkowski, but that wouldn't matter as the 5♥ river gave him the nut flush to see him survive.
