Kenjic Hits on the River
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
The board was out until the turn showing 3♣5♠5♣8♦, with the pot sitting at around 52,000.
Nazar Buhaiov, in the small blind, bet 100,000, putting Jovan Kenjic in early position in a tough spot with just 60,000 behind. Kenjic went deep into the tank, using all six of his time bank cards before eventually making the call, setting up a showdown.
Jovan Kenjic: A♥Q♠
Nazar Buhaiov: 9♦9♥
Buhaiov was ahead with pocket nines, but the river brought the Q♥, giving Kenjic top pair and the double-up. “You knew it was coming,” someone at the table commented.
