Fokin Runs into Trouble as Mai Flops Two Pair
Level 12: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000
Valeriy Fokin shoved all-in from the cutoff for 37,000, hoping to find a double-up, and got a call from Bien Mai in the big blind, leaving his tournament fate hanging in the balance.
Valeriy Fokin: 9♠ 9♥
Bien Mai: K♠ Q♠
Fokin’s nines were ahead preflop, but Mai quickly took control on the Q♥ 5♣ K♥ flop, making two pair. Fokin was left hoping for a miracle that never came as the A♦ and 3♣ completed the board, ending his run.
