Curreri Three-Bets, Massey Jams

Level 35 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Aaron Massey opened from the button to 1,250,000 and in the small blind was Dean Curreri who three-bet to 4,000,000. Massey thought for a moment then shoved all in for around 16,000,000.

Curreri thought for a moment but in the end, he let his hand go and Massey added a nice chunk of chips to his stack, without having to see a flop.

Chris Mailhot
Chris Mailhot

On the last hand that extended into the break, Lucas Braga opened for 1.3 million form the cutoff, got a call from Chris Mailhot on the button, and Arthur Nelson came along for the ride.

On the flop of {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{2-Spades} they checked to Mailhot, who bet 2.5 million. Nelson folded and Braga called.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and again Braga checked. Mailhot jammed for 8,645,000 and after some thought, Braga called. His {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts} was out-kicked by Mailhot's {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}. The {j-Clubs} on the river improved Mailhot to a full house and he doubled up to about 27 million.

Level 36 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Avinash Koneru
Avinash Koneru

Aaron Massey opened to 1,700,000 and Avinash Koneru moved all in for 14,700,000. Massey snap-called and the two tabled their hands with Koneru at risk.

Avinash Koneru: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Aaron Massey: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The flop rolled out {6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Massey was still ahead with his queen kicker. A {7-Clubs} peeled off on the turn and Koneru needed to hit or he would be taking an exit. The {j-Diamonds} cemented the pot for Massey's ace-queen and Koneru took a walk to the payout desk.
