Jacks Versus Queens Versus Kings
Alex Kulev raised to 1,200,000 from the button with 10?8? and Chris Brewer moved all-in for 6,900,000 with A?J? from the small blind, prompting Kulev to fold.
In the next hand, Dan Smith raised to 1,300,000 from middle position with 8?8? and was called by Chance Kornuth in the big blind with A?8?.
Kornuth check-folded the 10?4?Q? flop to a 900,000 bet from Smith.
Smith would pick up K?K? and raise to 1,300,000 from middle position in the very next hand, with Chris Brewer picking up J?J? in late position. Brewer put in a three-bet of 3,600,000, almost half of his remaining stack of 9,300,000.
But it wouldn't end there. Artur Martirosian looked down at Q?Q? from the big blind and moved all in over both players for 10,700,000. Smith would deliberate for a moment before making the call.
Brewer was able to sniff out the trouble and got out of the way.
The A?5?8? flop kept Smith in the lead, but with Martirosian halfway out the door, the Q? on the turn pulled him right back in and catapulted him into the lead in the hand.
The J? left Smith unimproved and Martirosian got the full double-up.
This hand is just ridiculous. https://t.co/UXcTFR8Hrd
