Suvarna Survives on the River
Level 22
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Robert Cowen raised to 240,000 under the gun and Santhosh Suvarna three-bet to 900,000 in the hijack. Carlo van Ravenswoud then potted to 3,000,000 in the big blind.
Cowen cut out the chips to call out of his stack and tanked for a minute, but he eventually folded. Van Ravenswoud went to turn over his cards until the rest of the table told him Suvarna was not yet all in. Suvarna ended up calling for 1,290,000.
Santhosh Suvarna: K♠Q♠Q♦4♠
Carlo van Ravenswoud: A♠A♣5♦4♣
Van Ravenswoud was ahead with his aces as the flop came 9♦2♦J♠, giving Suvarna some hope with a straight draw. The turn was the 8♥, while Suvarna hit his straight on the 10♠ river to win the pot and double up.
