River Counterfeits Zhugralin on the Soft Bubble
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Felipe Ketzer raised to 30,000 in the hijack before Damir Zhugralin three-bet all in for 177,000 from the small blind. Ali Al-Kubasi cold-called in the big blind, and Ketzer called as well.
The dealer spread a A♣8♠Q♥ flop, on which Al-Kubasi bet 100,000, which was enough to remove Ketzer from the equation, who folded 10♠10♣ face up.
Damir Zhugralin: A♦8♦
Ali Al-Kubasi: A♥K♣
Zhugralin had taken the lead on the flop, having flopped two pair, and stayed ahead on the 7♣ turn. However, the Q♦ river saw his two-pair counterfeited, sending him to the rail in the penultimate hand of the day, just shy of the money.
