Big Double for Gottlieb

John Gottlieb
John Gottlieb

Steve Jelinek raised to 240,000 from the button and John Gottlieb called. The flop came down {K-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Gottlieb check-called a pot-sized bet from Jelinek. The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and Gottlieb fired all in. Jelinek made the call.

Gottlieb held the {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{J-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Jelinek held the {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

The river completed the board with the {9-Clubs} and gave Gottlieb a straight. He began jumping up and down, having doubled up with a scoop. Gottlieb now has about three million in chips.

State of Play

Last level before the break there were a few all-in situations resulting in some double ups and big pots. This level, not so much. The player has slowed significantly and the action is hard to find. Each hand is taking a little bit longer than they did before and it may be due to the players realizing how close they are to a bracelet. Last year, Steve Jelinek came in sixth in this very event and surely won't want to go back-to-back years without capturing the gold.

John Gottlieb opened the pot with a 200,000-chip raise and Steve Jelinek called.

The flop ran out {7-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and both players checked. The turn was a {9-Hearts}, Steve fired a 300,000-chip bet and was called.

The river card was a {2-Hearts} and Jelinek check-folded when Gottlieb moved all in.

Jelinek slipped to 2,000,000 and Gottlieb is now up to 1,900,000.
