Plesuv Scores Double Knockout
Pavel Plesuv's reentry is going much better than the first after being on the winning end of this hand.
The hand began when John Pannucci shoved for his final 67,000 from middle position. Igor Yaroshevskyy jammed in response for 166,000 from the cutoff. Pavel Plesuv woke up with a hand in the big blind and made the call to put both Pannucci and Yaroshevskyy at risk as they went to a showdown.
John Pannucci: 10♠8♠
Igor Yaroshevskyy: A♣K♣
Pavel Plesuv: A♦A♥
Plesuv was in a dream spot as he picked up aces to put both his opponents in a quandary with five cards to go.
The 6♦10♥4♠ flop paired up Pannucci, but Plesuv remained in the lead.
Plesuv held on the 6♣ turn, and the K♦ river was not enough for either of his opponents as he scored the double knockout.
