Big Double For Mile

The action was opened by Mohamad Kowssarie from under the gun and he was then three-bet to 355,000 by Mile Krstanoski. Kowssarie made the call and some cards were dealt on the felt.

Flop: {j-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}

On the flop, Kowssarie went with a check-call when Krstanoski led for 450,000. The {9-Clubs} on the turn saw Kowssarie jam his giant stack all in and after some thought, Krstanoski made the call with his 1,225,000-chip stack.

Kstranoski: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Kowssarie: {6-Spades}{5-Spades}

Krstanoski would need to dodge a four or an eight to survive. The {7-Diamonds} on the river was a safe card and Krstanoski took the double, while Kowssarie took a hit to his stack.

Bjorn Li
Bjorn Li

The hand was opened to 120,000 from Bjorn Li in the cutoff, which prompted Kenneth Wong to move his stack all in from the button. Wong had 1,015,000 which was a large portion of Li's stack. After plenty of deliberation, Li decided to make the call.

Li: {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Wong: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
