Triple Up Survival

[user162117]

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

John Parker has done better than just double up his short stack, he’s landed a big triple up to stay alive.

Parker moved all in from early position for his last 69,000. Jazz Mathers called before Adam Martinsson moved all in for another 62,000 on top. Mathers was committed with his but trailed both Parker’s and Martinsson’s .

The board ran out to see Parker pull a flush with his second-best hand to scoop the pot. There was some confusion over the side pot, but eventually that was paid off as well as Martinsson pretty much broke even.

Day Kicks Off With Double Elimination

[user162117]

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

There’s nothing like a double knock-out to kick a day into action

Especially if you are Jazz Mathers.

It started with Michael Frydman opened it up to 13,000 from early position. Phillip Dong three-bet all in for 42,000 from the hijack, Muhammad Khan called from the cut off and Jazz Mathers called from the button. Back on Frydman and he tank-called.

Dong was at risk and looking to quadruple up and then some.

The flop would see Frydman check, Khan bet 35,000 and both Mathers and Frydman called. All three players checked the turn and a was dealt on the river. This time when it was checked to Mathers, he would bet 275,000. Frydman moved all in for less, Khan got out of the way and two players were at risk.
