Natoptanyi Smacks the River to Bust Derwiche
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
A massive pot of around 50,000 was already in the middle as Imad Derwiche got his last 20,000 in on the turn with the board showing 10?K?6?8?.
Oleksii Natoptanyi put him at risk from the cutoff with 9?9?, but Derwiche had 6?6? for a set of sixes. The river was the 7? and Natoptanyi spiked a straight to send a stunned Derwiche to the rail.
"You need to win those hands," a tablemate said.
