No Kicker Problems For El Yaacoubi

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante

With two players seeing a board of 4?K?4?8? and around 30,000 in the middle, Rachid El Yaacoubi checked from the big blind and a player on the button checked behind.

On the K? river El Yaacoubi bet 15,000 and was called by his opponent. El Yaacoubi turned over two pair with J?8?. The player on the button flashed the 8? from his hand before mucking and El Yaacoubi took the pot.

Neagoe Scoops the Main Pot, Koks Takes the Side Pot in Three-Way All-In

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante
Andrey Koks
Andrey Koks

After Andrey Koks had made a three-bet to 26,000, Darius Neagoe shoved his stack of 94,000 into the middle and the player in middle position called. Koks then shoved for around 240,000 total, and middle position quickly called.

Darius Neagoe: K?K? All in
Andrey Koks: Q?Q? All in
Middle Position: 6?6?

Neagoe had a great opportunity to triple up and would do so if his pocket kings held up. A flop of 9?3?7? didn't change much, and neither did the A? turn. Koks was still in the driver's seat for the near-300,000-chip side pot, and took it when the 3? landed on the river. Neagoe scooped the main pot, and the player in middle position was left with a heavily dented stack.

Elyashiv Put in the Blender by Sadi

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante
Umit Sadi
Umit Sadi

Eliyahu Elyashiv opened to 7,500 from the hijack and was called by Nemo Koering in the small blind and Umit Sadi in the big blind.

The flop came A?Q?4? and action checked around to Elyashiv who bet 6,500. Koering check-raised to 25,000 and Sadi three-bet to 58,000. Elyashiv made the call while Koering got out of the way.

On the 10? turn Sadi shoved for 161,500, putting Elyashiv deep into the tank.

"Ace-four? Or Set of fours? One is no good" Elyashiv told his opponent, who remained silent. More than five minutes went by before Nichan Khorchidian, seated at the same table, called the clock. Elyashiv finally released his hand, telling his tablemates that he had folded ace-queen for top two pair. Another player at the table chimed in that it was a good fold as Sadi scooped a sizable pot without showdown.

Yacoub Flushes Out Litvinov

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

On a flop of Q?5?K?, Andrey Litvinov had shoved around 27,000 and been called by both Georges Ghossan and Dori Yacoub.

A 10? dropped on the turn and after Ghossan checked, Yacoub fired 25,000, which was enough to make Ghossan fold.

Andrey Litvinov: 5?5? All in
Dori Yacoub: Q?J?

Litvinov had flopped a set, but Yacoub turned a flush to take the lead. A board-pairing river is what Litvinov needed to survive, but he couldn't find it as the 6? completed the runout.

Cotescu Flops a Boat

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

A player in the hijack opened to 5,500 and Sandra Cotescu called in the cutoff. The big blind also came along.

On the A?J?J? flop, the big blind checked, the hijack bet 6,000, Cotescu called, and the big blind folded.

A 10? on the turn saw the hijack bet the same amount of 6,000, which again Cotescu called to see the 9? drop on the river. The hijack, checked, and Cotescu sized up with a bet of 60,000. After thinking for a while, the hijack tossed in the call.

Cotescu showed A?J? for a flopped full house, and the hijack's A?10? was no good.
