Izadi Doubles Up

Level 11 : 1,200/2,500, 2,500 ante
Hamid Izadi
Hamid Izadi

It's unclear how the action went down, but at the river the board read {9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and Hamid Izadi was all-in for his last 36,300 holding {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}.

His opponent was hesitant, but ended up tabling {8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for a flopped open-ender that whiffed.

Izadi doubled up to about 140,000

2017 Almighty Champ Sinishtaj Sneaks Into Flight E

Level 11 : 1,200/2,500, 2,500 ante
Tony Sinishtaj
Tony Sinishtaj

Tony Sinishtaj has turned up in Flight E at one of the late registration tables, which has now broken.

Sinishtaj won the 2017 Borgata Summer Poker Open Almighty Stack NLH tournament. That year there were only four starting flights, not six, and saw a total of 1,863 entrants.

When they reached the final four, he was the chip leader and a deal was struck giving him first place, the trophy, and an even $95,000* in what was his first Borgata title.

The flop read {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and there was around 65,000 in the pot. Action checked to a player in the hijack who moved all in for 41,200. Arnaldo Gordon called on the button and another player check-called from middle position.

The {2-Spades} landed as a turn card and both players checked to the {9-Hearts} river card. Action checked to Gordon who bet 25,000 and his opponent check-called.

The all-in player showed {6-Spades}{6-Hearts} for a pair of sixes and Gordon tabled {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for three nines. His opponent on the side put threw {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} into the muck and Gordon took down both pots, eliminating one player during the process.

A player in middle position opened to 4,500 and was called by an opponent in the hijack. Ryan Eriquezzo three-bet from the cutoff to 18,500 and only the initial raiser called to see the {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop.

Both players checked and an {8-Diamonds} landed on the turn. The middle position player bet 2,500, Eriquezzo called and the {a-Hearts} completed the board.

A bet of 4,400 came from Eriquezzo's opponent and Eriqeuzzo bumped it up to 27,500. His opponent took a moment but in the end, they let their hand go into the muck, shipping the pot to the two-time GCC winner.

Reis Turns the Nuts and Gets Paid

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Rafael Reis
Rafael Reis

Rafael Reis opened to 3,200 early and got called by Seat 4 in the middle and Seat 9 (bb).

The flop of {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs} was checked around, but the {10-Clubs} on the turn prompted a bet of 6,000 from Reis. Seat 4 raised to 16,000 and Seat 9 opted out.

Reis kicked it on up to 39,000, Seat 4 jammed, and Reis called all-in or 75,200 total. His opponent tabled {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for the jack-high straight, but Reis had him beat with {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for the queen-high straight and the current nuts.

The {2-Clubs} on the river was a complete brick, given that neither player had a club flush draw, and Reis took the pot, doubling up to 161,500.
