Iakovlev Wins Despite "Very Bad River"
Level 6
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of 7♠4♠6♣ and about 60,000 in the middle, Giorgiy Skhulukhiya bet 17,000 and was called by Michael Iakovlev on the button.
On the K♥ turn Skhulukhiya fired another barrel for 45,000 and was once again called by his opponent.
Skhulukhiya burned through two time banks before checking the 5♦ river.
"Very bad river" Iakovlev told his opponent before checking behind.
"You win" Skhulukhiya replied.
"Of course I win" Iakovlev said before tabling A♥A♦ for an overpair to take the pot.
