![]()
Lyubovetskiy: ![]()
The flop of ![]()

Karl Stark opened from the cutoff with a raise to 24,000. Adrian Mateos was on the button, and he decided to reraise making it 63,000. Action folded back to Stark who moved all in with a covering stack and Mateos called off the rest of his stack for 235,000.
