Alontsau’s River Patience Pays Off
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Sylwia Studniarz opened the action with a raise to 100,000 from under the gun, drawing two callers, including Siarhei Alontsau.
The flop came 2?7?7?, and Studniarz continued for 150,000. Alontsau was the only one to stick around, making the call.
On the K? turn, Studniarz checked, but when Alontsau bet 225,000, she responded with an aggressive check-raise to 600,000. Undeterred, Alontsau called without hesitation.
The J? river saw Studniarz deliberate before opting to check. Alontsau, after asking for a count of her remaining chips, decided against applying further pressure and checked back. At showdown, Studniarz revealed 6?5? for a missed flush draw, while Alontsau’s A?J? secured the pot with a pair of jacks on the river.
