Livello 11 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Siddharth Gandhi opened to 17,000 preflop and was called only by Josh Arieh to see a flop of 7♦2♣Q♦.

Gandhi led out for a pot bet of 47,000 and Arieh thought about it for a few seconds before he made the call to see the 10♦ on the turn.

Gandhi then moved all in and Arieh quickly snapped him off to put him at risk of elimination.

Siddharth Gandhi: A♠A♥K♦4♥
Josh Arieh: 10♣8♠7♣6♣

Arieh was already ahead with his turned two-pair and the river K♦ did not improve Handhit and he was eliminated early on.

"How can you even call on the flop??" he questioned Arieh.

"Whatchu mean?! I had a pair! Two pair draw!" Arieh and the remaining players shared a laugh as he stacked his chips and Gandhi made his way to the exit.

On a heads-up completed board of 9♦10♥8♥8♣J♥, Aaron Mermelstein bet the pot of 90,000 and the action was on his opponent, Andrew Ige, who went into the tank.

After a while, Ige made the call but was then shown A♦J♠J♦6♣ for jacks full on the river and Ige quickly mucked.

"What is it with you today?" someone at the table joked to Mermelstein, who just laughed and shrugged as he stacked his new chips.

Kornuth Gets the Double Knockout

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 11 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action started with a limp under the gun by Chance Kornuth. It folded to Anh Do in middle position who raised to 23,000. It then made it to 2023 bracelet winner Michael Moncek in the big blind who potted it to 77,000. Action was now back on Kornuth who put in the back-four-bet to a pot sizing of 257,000.

Do went into the tank and eventually flat-called with about 100,000 behind. Moncek then went all in for less than the four-bet and the players were off to a flop three ways with Moncek all in.

The 10♣Q♣5♠ flop landed and Kornuth already had enough chips out to cover Do's stack. Do called and the cards hit their backs.

Michael Moncek: A♥7♥K♦8♦
Anh Do: 10♦9♦8♣7♣
Chance Kornuth: A♠A♦J♣J♥

Kornuth was behind in equity going to the turn. It landed a Q♦ giving Kornuth a commanding lead but still needing to fade tons of outs. The river was a 5♥ and Kornuth would scoop a massive pot to vault him even higher on the leaderboard and send two players to the rail.
