Sybirtsev Saved on the River

Laura Fryer

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Players were already on the 2♣3♠8♥9♣ turn with a pot of around 360,000.

Oleksandr Sybirtsev was all-in and at risk from under the gun for his remaining 725,000 and Shahar Levi covered from the cutoff.

Oleksandr Sybirtsev: 10♠8♠ All in
Shahar Levi: A♣A♥

Levi was ahead, and it was looking like Sybirtsev was going to bust the tournament.

This all changed when the dealer peeled the 8♣ river to give Sybirtsev trip eights.
