Kubenka Gets Short and Doubles
Level 26
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Lukas Pazma was all-in with the J♦J♠ and in trouble against fellow countryman Petr Kubenka, who had him pipped with the Q♦Q♠.
Pazma took the lead on the J♣6♠3♠ flop but had an additional sweat to fear on the 8♠ turn. However, the 6♦ river was a blank and Pazma doubled.
Down to the last 145,000, Kubenka jammed in the next hand and chip leader Wladimir Gerner reraised to isolate from the small blind.
Petr Kubenka: A♦K♣
Wladimir Gerner: K♠J♦
The A♣10♦5♦7♥J♣ board kept Kubenka in contention, while Gerner took a minor hit to his massive stack.
