Svitlana Derevlianko Gets Her Aces Cracked
Level 9: 1000/1500 (1500)
Entries: 86/156
Stefano Boi raised from UTG and was met with a 3-bet from Svitlana Derevlianko. The flop came J♠3♦10♣, where Derevlianko made a bet of 8,000 after her opponent checked, and Boi made the call. The turn brought the 8♠, completing possible straights, but Derevlianko remained unfazed, firing 25,000 into the pot.
After some thought, Boi put Derevlianko all-in for her remaining 76,500 chips. “I can’t fold this,” she said, calling and revealing A♣A♠, only to find herself up against Boi’s pocket 10♦10♠ for a set. The river changed nothing, sealing Derevlianko’s fate and sending her to the rail or possibly to the cashier.
Stefano Boi extends his chip lead and has over 400,000 chips.
