Krauchuk From Hero To Almost Zero

The player in the eight seat had just arrived on table seven with Ian Simpson next to him and there was a raise to 2,200 by the player in under the gun. Andrei Krauchuk called on the cutoff and the new player squeezed to 7,600. Only Krauchuk called and they saw a flop of :::5h:::Qd:::4h.

The action was checked to Krauchuk and he bet 5,000, receiving a call. On the :::9d turn, the opponent of Krauchuk check-raised all in for almost even stacks and was called by the Belorussian with :::Qs:::9s for top two pair. The player at risk had pocket jacks and the {10c} river blanked.

Shortly after, Tim Verbon check-raised from 5,000 to 13,000 on the flop :::Qh:::6s:::Kd and Krauchuk called. On the :::8d turn, Verbon made it 17,000 and again Krauchuk called before snap-calling the final barrel worth 37,000 on the {10h} river. Verbon flipped over :::Qc:::Qh and Krauchuk was shell-shock, revealing the inferior :::6c:::6h.

Tim Verbon 180,000 146,000
