Four-Way All-in! Will Benny Glaser's Pocket Aces Survive?
Table Of Contents
Sometimes you face tricky decisions in poker tournaments. Perhaps you think your opponent is bluffing? Perhaps you think you can pick up some thin value?
And certainly, Benny Glaser has encountered some quandaries en route to his eight WSOP bracelets — the most by any non-American in WSOP history.
Having raised from early position with pocket aces, Glaser watched as three other players shoved on him.
Big Four-Way Confrontation
Glaser had bagged 1,085,000 from Day 1c, and started the hand with 960,000. With the blinds at 15,000/30,000/30,000, Glaser raised to 60,000. Japanese vlogger Masato Yokosawa was in the cutoff and three-bet all in for 430,000.
Big-stack Alexey Borovkov flatted on the button, before Brek Schutten — himself a two-time bracelet winner — moved all in for 440,000.
Glaser shoved for 960,000 and Borovkov to put the other three players at risk.
Masato Yokosawa: J♥10♥
Brek Schutten: K♦K♥
Benny Glaser: A♣A♠
Alexey Borovkov: 10♦10♠
Unfortunately for Borovkov, he was in last place after Glaser and Schutten both picked up better pocket pairs, and Yokosawa restricted the Russian to a single out.
The flop J♠9♠4♦ gave Yokosawa hope, and the turn was the 5♦.
The river 6♠ saw Glaser double through Borokov, and chip up to over 2,900,000 as he sent both Schutten and Yokosawa to the rail.
