Gorelik Doubles and Loses the Profit
Level 21
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Albert Gorelik got it in ahead with A♦K♥ versus A♣Q♥ and asked for a king on the flop when at risk against Candido Cappiello. He then changed his mind to hearts on a A♥J♥3♥ flop and that wish was granted with the 6♥ turn, making the 3♣ river meaningless.
Gorelik lost most of the profit soon after when he paid off a bet worth 140,000 by Deividas Butnoras out of the big blind on the 8♠8♥2♥5♥2♠ river. Butnoras tabled the 8♣4♣ for eights full of deuces to win the pot.
