Alontsau’s River Patience Pays Off
Nivel 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.
