Aces Hold, Lyubimov Hits the Rail
Nivel 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Igor Lyubimov had been biding his time, waiting for the perfect moment to shove all his chips into the middle. When he finally made his move, Metodi Peychev didn’t waste a second before snap-shoving right back.
Igor Lyubimov: A♥4♥
Metodi Peychev: A♠A♦
Peychev had the dream hand—pocket aces—and it didn’t take long for Lyubimov to realize he was in deep trouble. Already halfway out of his seat, Lyubimov braced for the worst. The board came down J♦4♦8♦10♥6♠, giving him just a small glimmer of hope with that pair of fours, but ultimately confirming what he already knew: his tournament run had come to an end. Peychev's aces held strong, sending Lyubimov packing.
