Kennedy Turns Trips to Eliminate Karpati

Matt Warburton

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Andrei Boghean raised from early position and was called by Paul Tait, Anthony Kennedy in the small blind and Tibor Karpati in the big blind.

Four players went to the flop, which came 7♠A♥2♦. Action checked to Beghean, who continued for 10,000. Tait and Kennedy both called before Karpati moved all in for 45,000. Only Kennedy made the call and the two players flipped their cards, with Karpati at risk.

Tibor Karpati: A♣9♣
Anthony Kennedy: 7♥6♥

Karpati had a pair of aces and Kennedy had a pair of sevens. The turn came the 9♥ to give Kennedy a flush draw and the river was the 7♣ which gave him trip sevens to win the pot. Karpati was eliminated from the tournament.

Ghizaoui Trips Haverstad Out of Contention

Dan O'Hair

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jamel Ghizaoui opened to 15,000 from early position and was called by Thomas Haverstad in the big blind.

Haverstad checked to Ghizaoui on the J♦6♠J♠ flop and he bet 30,000 Haverstad put in 10,000, which he assumed was the bet, and the floor was called over. Haverstad was given the option to fold or call, but the 10,000 had to remain in the middle. Haverstad then attempted to go all in for his remaining stack, but the floor ruled he could only call, which he did.

The K♠ came on the turn and Haverstad shoved his remaining stack, which Ghizaoui quickly called.

Thomas Haverstad: 9♦6♦
Jamel Ghizaoui: A♠J♥

Haverstad found himself drawing dead against Ghizaoui's trip jacks and an irrelevant 8♣ completed the board — sending Haverstad to the rail.
