Spataru Escapes Disaster as Fedorov Spikes the Nuts on the River
Level 21
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Vikrant Mangal was already all in on a short stack as Andrei Spataru and Dmytro Fedorov went to a flop of 3♣9♦Q♦. Spataru then bet 20,000 from the hijack, Fedorov raised to 65,000 in the small blind, and Spataru called.
The turn was the A♣ and Fedorov moved all in for 198,000. Spataru cut out the chips to call and counted out the rest of his stack, tanking for a few minutes. Mangal eventually called the clock.
"He's all in. Are you in a rush? Then go," Spataru said to him before eventually folding.
Fedorov showed K♦J♦, while Mangal had 9♣5♣ for a pair of nines. The 10♠ river improved Fedorov to the nut straight and Spataru wiped his brow while Mangal was sent to the rail.
