Consecutive Knockouts on Table 678
Pot-Limit Omaha
After an open from under the gun to 40,000 was called by two players, Vegard Andreassen raised it up to 80,000 from the big blind, and received three callers. On the flop, Andreassen led out with a pot sized bet. Joffrey Lhote moved all in for not much more, and Andreassen completed.
Joffrey Lhote:
Vegard Andreassen:
Andreassen was ahead with his aces, but would need to fade Lhote's flush draw. He did so successfully as the turn and river were bricks, and Lhote was eliminated.
On the very next hand, Demosthenes Kiriopoulos found himself all in against Sandeep Pulusani, who had him covered.
Demosthenes Kiriopoulos:
Sandeep Pulusani:
Any hope Kiriopoulos had quickly evaporated as Pulusani made a straight on the flop. The changed nothing, and the river needlessly improved Pulusani to a flush, knocking Kiriopoulos out of the tournament.
