Gafner Makes a Big Call Against Lazrus

Level 30 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 8♦9♦6♥, Toby Gafner bet 1,600,000 from the button and Daniel Lazrus raised to 4,000,000 in the cutoff. Gafner called, and the K♥ fell on the turn.

Lazrus then moved all in for another 4,250,000, and Gafner tanked for several minutes before calling. Lazrus showed A♦2♦ for a flush draw, while Gafner had 7♦7♥. The river was the K♠, and Gafner held on to win the big pot.

"Let's go! Get the f**k out of here. Not you. Good hand," Gafner shouted out to Lazrus, who was sent to the rail.

At another table, John Malvasio had opened to 800,000 in the hijack and Thomas Yarbrough three-bet to 2,000,000 on the button. Malvasio called, and the flop came 7♠5♣6♦.

Yarbrough then bet 650,000, and Malvasio came back with a raise to 3,000,000. Yarbrough also took several minutes, but he eventually folded.

He Might Be a Fishman But Today He is a Cowboy

Level 30 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Baruch Fishman jammed for 3,225,000 on the button and Yuriy Kudrynskyy quickly called in the big blind.

Baruch Fishman: K♠K♥ All in
Yuriy Kudrynskyy: A♠7♣

Fishman woke up with a premium off a short stack but still had to fade Kudrynskyy's overcard. However, the board would run out J♣6♦5♥3♠2♠, leaving Fishman's kings best to double.

Will Failla opened to 700,000 in early position and was called by Daniel Lazrus in the cutoff.

On the 7♣3♠3♥ flop, Failla led for 600,000 and Lazrus called.

The 6♦ turn checked through to the Q♥ river which saw Failla led again for 1,200,000, and Lazrus would called after a minute's tank. However, he got the bad news as Failla tabled Q♠Q♣ for a rivered full house to collect another pot.

John Malczan: K♥Q♦

Malczan had Zhang dominated, and the board ran out 9♣2♦10♣J♦10♥ to give him a straight and his second straight knockout.
